Clustering Insights

What is Clustering?

Clustering is a data mining technique used to group similar data points together into clusters. The goal is to discover inherent groupings in the data, where data points within a cluster are more similar to each other than to those in other clusters. It is commonly used for data analysis, pattern recognition, image analysis, and anomaly detection. Common clustering algorithms include k-means, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN.

neural networks

Neural networks are often used for supervised learning tasks (classification, regression) and can be used for dimensionality reduction (autoencoders) and can be used for clustering by using the latent representation as input to another algorithm.
