Chapter 14: Curse of Dimensionality
Frequently, our intuition developed in low-dimensional spaces does not generalize to higher dimensions. This chapter introduces the phenomenon of the curse of dimensionality and discusses its effects on the behavior of machine learning models.

Chapter 14.01: Curse of Dimensionality
In this section, we discuss why our geometric intuition fails in high-dimensional spaces and introduce the phenomenon of the curse of dimensionality.

Chapter 14.02: Curse of Dimensionality - Examples
In this section, we show examples of how \(k\)-NN and the linear model suffer from the the curse of dimensionality.
