Approach

pca // geometry // dependencies

  • • Constructed feature representations that emphasize structural fragments of digits.
  • • Applied PCA to identify dominant axes of variation and interpretable linear subspaces.
  • • Analyzed linear dependencies to connect geometry with dimensionality reduction outcomes.
  • • 构造强调“结构片段”的特征表示,使几何形态更易分析。
  • • 使用 PCA 提取主变化方向与可解释的低维子空间。
  • • 分析线性依赖关系,将几何结构与降维结果建立联系。
