Datalab-Seminar
Introduction
We invite Data Science experts to present and discuss topics relevant to the scope of Datalab. The seminar usually takes place every two weeks, on Wednesdays from 12:00-13:00 at the Winterthur Campus of ZHAW.

| Date | Time&Place | Speaker | Title | Abstract |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wed, 9.11. | 12:00, TH 343 and Zoom | Prof. Lutz Dümbgen (University of Bern) | Refining Invariant Coordinate Selection via Local Projection Pursuit | Invariant coordinate selection (ICS), introduced by Tyler et a. (2009, J. Royal Statistic. Soc. B), is a powerful tool to find potentially interesting projections of multivariate data. In some cases, some of the projections proposed by ICS come close to really interesting ones, but little deviations can result in a blurred view which does not reveal the feature (e.g. a clustering) which would otherwise be clearly visible. To remedy this problem, we propose an automated and localized version of projection pursuit (PP), cf. Huber (1985. Ann. Statist.). Precisely, our local search is based on gradient descent applied to estimated differential entropy as a function of the projection matrix. The method is illustrated with two- and three-dimensional projections. This is joint work with Katrin Gyel and Fabrice Perler. |
