This project contains a notebook used to complete homework 5 in CS 498, Applied Machine Learning. It was completed at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in Spring, 2019 by Brian Hicks and Joe Everton.
Joe presented the concepts and findings behind this homework to the Hillsboro Python Machine Learning Meetup on May 21, 2019. The slides he used are available at that link, and also here.
The focus of the homework is on implementing Vector Quantization, a technique described in section 9.3.1 of the course text, Applied Machine Learning by David Forsyth.
