Clustering is a common task in unsupervised learning that involves grouping similar data points based on data patterns. As clustering falls under the unsupervised learning family, the model does not require explicit labels to direct the clustering process; instead, the algorithm learns the labels from the data.
All of the clustering algorithm model objectives are to find the inherent structure or patterns of data, especially to organize them into certain groups where the same clusters are more similar than others from other clusters. If we turn it into a question, the model objective is “Which observations are naturally similar, and how can we group them?”
Clustering is one of the most popular of the unsupervised learning techniques, as it is one of the most useful, with sought-after results in business. Example applications of clustering include market segmentation, document clustering, social network analysis, and many more. Any...
