Many machine learning algorithms make assumptions about the linear separability of the input data. You learned that the perceptron even requires perfectly linearly separable training data to converge. Other algorithms that we have covered so far assume that the lack of perfect linear separability is due to noise: Adaline, logistic regression, and the (standard) support vector machine (SVM) to just name a few. However, if we are dealing with nonlinear problems, which we may encounter rather frequently in real-world applications, linear transformation techniques for dimensionality reduction, such as PCA and LDA, may not be the best choice. In this section, we will take a look at a kernelized version of PCA, or kernel PCA, which relates to the concepts of kernel SVM that we remember from Chapter 3, A Tour of Machine Learning Classifiers Using Scikit-learn. Using kernel PCA, we will learn how to transform data that is not linearly...
