Unsupervised learning: seeking representations of the data

Clustering: grouping observations together

The problem solved in clustering

Given the iris dataset, if we knew that there were 3 types of iris, but did not have access to a taxonomist to label them: we could try a clustering task: split the observations into well-separated group called clusters.

K-means clustering

Note that there exist a lot of different clustering criteria and associated algorithms. The simplest clustering algorithm is K-means.
