SCOPE
======

Incremental Learning is a subfield of the Artificial Intelligence that deals with data flow. The key hypothesis is that the algorithms are able to learn data from a data subset and then to re-learn with new unlabeled data. At the end of the learning, one of the problems is the clustering analysis and visualization of the results. The topological learning is one of the most known technique that allows clustering and visualization simultaneously. At the end of the topographic learning, "similar'' data will be collect in clusters, which correspond to the sets of similar observations. These clusters can be represented by more concise information than the brutal listing of their patterns, such as their gravity center or different statistical moments. As expected, this information is easier to manipulate than the original data points.


Dimensionality reduction is another major challenge in the domain of unsupervised learning which deals with the transformation of a high dimensional dataset into a low dimensional space, while retaining most of the useful structure in the original data, retaining only relevant features and observations. Dimensionality reduction can be achieved by using a clustering technique to reduce the number of observations or a features selection approach to reduce the features space.
