Clustering Algorithms
Choose and apply the right clustering algorithm for your unsupervised learning task.
Usage
Describe your data and clustering goals to get algorithm recommendations.
Examples
- "Segment customers into meaningful groups using K-means"
- "Cluster geographic locations with DBSCAN"
- "Choose between hierarchical and K-means for our use case"
Guidelines
- Scale features before applying distance-based clustering
- Use the elbow method and silhouette scores to find optimal k
- Choose DBSCAN for non-spherical clusters and noise handling
- Validate clusters with domain knowledge and business meaning
- Visualize clusters with dimensionality reduction techniques
