The practical work below is divided into sessions. You are asked, each time, to read the content, to do the exercises when there are some, and to ask me questions when something is not understood. At the end of each session, you will have to send your production to: cguyeux@femto-st.fr.
At the end of the course, I will randomly draw two practical works per student, to give a final grade on the practical part. The last session will be the occasion to make a final test on paper, covering all the sessions.
Take your clustering codes from the previous session, and add a dimentionality reduction step upstream. Try several methods, and improve your clustering results according to various metrics previously proposed.
Choose a time series from the UCI directory and use it as an example in the following points. You can send me at the end of the day what you have achieved on the time series of your choice, both on its analysis and its prediction.
