Clustering
An unsupervised learning technique that groups similar data points together without predefined labels, commonly used for customer segmentation, anomaly detection, and data exploration.
Clustering algorithms like K-means, DBSCAN, and hierarchical clustering are fundamental tools in data science and machine learning. Unlike classification, clustering does not require labeled training data — it discovers natural groupings in data. Enterprises widely use clustering for market segmentation, fraud detection, and recommendation systems. Modern AI has advanced clustering with learned embeddings, where neural networks create representations that capture semantic similarity before clustering.
