Abstract
A fundamental result of Johnson and Lindenstrauss states that one may randomly project a collection of data points into a lower dimensional space while preserving pairwise point distances. How is this possible? Recent developments have gone even further: non-linear randomised projections can be used to approximate kernel machines and scale them to datasets with millions of features and samples. In this talk we will explore the theoretical aspects of the great Random Projection method, and perform live demos to demonstrate its effectiveness.
Series This talk is part of the Machine Learning Reading Group @ CUED series.
