Data Science and Machine Learning (Theory and Projects) A to Z - Feature Extraction: Kernel PCA Versus ISOMAP

The video tutorial explains the concept of matrix X transpose X and its application in Principal Component Analysis (PCA). It discusses how eigenvalues and eigenvectors are used to find a subspace that preserves pairwise Euclidean distances. The tutorial introduces the concept of geodesic distance and the Isomap technique for nonlinear dimensionality reduction. It further explores kernel PCA, which allows for nonlinear dimensionality reduction by transforming data into a higher-dimensional space. The video concludes by linking various nonlinear dimensionality reduction techniques back to kernel PCA.
