Definition
High dimensional datasets is frequently encountered in data mining and statistical learning. Dimension reduction eliminates noisy data dimensions and thus and improves accuracy in classification and clustering, in addition to reduced computational cost. Here the focus is on unsupervised dimension reduction. The wide used technique is principal component analysis which is closely related to K-means cluster. Another popular method is Laplacian embedding which is closely related to spectral clustering.
Historical Background
Principal component analysis (PCA) was introduced by Pearson in 1901 and formalized in 1933 by Hotelling. PCA is the foundation for modern dimension reduction. A large number of linear dimension reduction techniques were developed during 1950–1970s.
Laplacian graph embedding (also called quadratic placement) is developed by Hall [8] in 1971. Spectral graph partitioning [6], is initially studied in 1970s; it is...
