DESCRIPTION:Note: This course requires a minimum number of participants in 
 order to run. Please [register your interest here.](http://bioinfotraining
 .bio.cam.ac.uk/booking-form/?event-id=6091740&amp\;course-title=Applied%20
 Unsupervised%20Machine%20Learning%20in-person%20INTERESTED) If the require
 d number of participants is met then you will be notified that the course 
 is running and a booking will be made for you. Otherwise you will be notif
 ied that the course isn't running and we will contact for future iteration
 s.\n    \n  \n\n\nThis course on unsupervised learning provides a systemat
 ic introduction to dimensionality reduction and clustering techniques. The
  course covers fundamental concepts of unsupervised learning and data norm
 alization\, then progresses through the practical applications of Principa
 l Component Analysis (PCA)\, t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (
 t-SNE)\, and hierarchical clustering algorithms. \n\nThe course emphasizes
  both theoretical understanding and hands-on application\, teaching studen
 ts to recognize when different techniques are appropriate and when they ma
 y fail. A key learning objective is understanding the limitations of linea
 r methods like PCA. Students learn to evaluate the performance of unsuperv
 ised learning methods across diverse data types\, with the ultimate goal o
 f generating meaningful hypotheses for further research.\n\n\n\nIf you do
