    Chicaggo Wolves Game Notes

    2020-21 Chicago Wolves Game Notes GRAND RAPIDS AT CHICAGO FEB. 11, 2021 2 P.M. AHLTV.COM DON’T SLEEP ON PITLICK 2020-21 During the Chicago Wolves’ fast start, a lot of attention has been paid to the team’s teenagers — which TALE OF THE TAPE makes sense because there are several of them and they’ve been plenty good through the first three REGULAR-SEASON SERIES games. But it’s not like the rest of the roster belongs to AARP. 0-1-0-0 Grand Rapids | 1-0-0-0 Chicago LAST MEETING Take center Rem Pitlick, for example. He made his NHL debut with the Nashville Predators on March Feb. 5, 2021 25, 2019 — shortly before his 22nd birthday. The Ottawa native then scored 20 goals in 63 games last year for the AHL’s Milwaukee Admirals during his first year as a pro. Nashville’s 2016 third-round pick has served as head coach Ryan Warsofsky’s first-line center for all three games and has been terrific at both ends of the ice. Pitlick shares the American Hockey League 0-1-0-0 3-0-0-0 lead with three goals and has earned the game-winning goal in each of the last two games — both of them breakaway goals that looked remarkably similar. His game-winner Tuesday against Rockford LEADING SCORERS came on shorthanded when he pounced on a loose puck at the Wolves’ blue line. GRAND RAPIDS CHICAGO Skater G A Pts Skater G A Pts “So ‘Pitter,’ he’s got some really good tools as I’m just learning myself,” said Warsofsky, who did not Criscuolo 1 0 1 Tomasino 2 3 5 see Pitlick play last year while serving as the Charlotte Checkers’ head coach.

    Feature Selection and Dimension Reduction

    DATA SCIENCE REPORT SERIES Feature Selection and Data Reduction (DRAFT) Patrick Boily1,2,3,4, Olivier Leduc1, Andrew Macfie3, Aditya Maheshwari3, Maia Pelletier1 Abstract Data mining is the collection of processes by which we can extract useful insights from data. Inherent in this definition is the idea of data reduction: useful insights (whether in the form of summaries, sentiment analyses, etc.) ought to be “smaller” and “more organized” than the original raw data. The challenges presented by high data dimensionality (the so-called curse of dimensionality) must be addressed in order to achieve insightful and interpretable analytical results. In this report, we introduce the basic principles of dimensionality reduction and a number of feature selection methods (filter, wrapper, regularization), discuss some current advanced topics (SVD, spectral feature selection, UMAP) and provide examples (with code). Keywords feature selection, dimension reduction, curse of dimensionality, principal component analysis, manifold hypothesis, manifold learning, regularization, subset selection, spectral feature selection, uniform manifold approximation and projection Funding Acknowledgement Parts of this report were funded by a University of Ottawa grant to develop teaching material in French (2019-2020). These were subsequently translated into English before being incorporated into this document. 1Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Ottawa, Ottawa 2Sprott School of Business, Carleton University, Ottawa 3Idlewyld Analytics and Consulting
