Unsupervised Learning | Foundations for Energy Data Analytics

Dive into this foundational video on #unsupervisedlearning by Dr. Jordan Malof (Duke University). This talk introduces common unsupervised learning techniques and how they can be applied to energy challenges. You’ll hear about #mixedclustering, #dimensionalityreduction, and more!

Part of the Foundations for Energy Data Analytics Series. Some videos in the series (like this one!) introduce data science concepts and techniques that are applicable to energy challenges. Others are designed to provide background on energy systems and policy, elucidating contexts that are rich with opportunities for data scientists. (Foundations for Energy Data Analytics)

This talk was originally presented during a workshop of the Energy Data Analytics Ph.D. Student Fellows Program (https://energy.duke.edu/energy-data-a..., organized by the Energy Data Analytics Lab (https://energy.duke.edu/research/ener...) at Duke University. The Fellows Program is funded by a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Grant-G2020-13922. (https://sloan.org)
