Classifying Handwritten Digits Using k-means
Let's say our task is to classify handwritten digits. Don't most zeros look similar, if not the same? And don't all zeros look categorically different from all possible ones? Doesn't this mean we could use clustering for classification as well? Let's find out together. In this video, we will attempt to use k-means to try and classify handwritten digits. In other words, we will try to identify similar digits without using the original label information. element with a class. - Generate a labels vector to find out which images were grouped into which clusters - Create a confusion matrix
