Manifold learning is a type of non-linear dimensionality reduction technique that aims to discover the underlying structure of high-dimensional data by mapping it into a lower-dimensional space while preserving meaningful relationships. It’s particularly useful when the data is assumed to lie on a lower-dimensional manifold embedded in a higher-dimensional space, making it easier to visualize and analyze complex datasets.
congrats on reading the definition of manifold learning. now let's actually learn it.
