Unsupervised Learning for Quantum Dots
In this video we motivate the concept of unsupervised learning for quantum dot control and tuning tasks, and outline two main topics we will discuss in this model: clustering and generative models
Main takeaways
- Unsupervised learning is key in any circumstances where we do not have access to labelled data (or the labelling process is too costly)
- Many unsupervised learning tasks can be accomplished without neural networks via clustering algorithms
- An example of unsupervised learning with neural networks is an Autoencoder
Further thinking
True or False: Unsupervised learning is a sub-category of supervised learning.
