๐ K-Means is one of the most popular unsupervised learning algorithms. It groups similar data points into clusters.
๐น 1. What is Clustering?
Clustering = Grouping similar data together
๐ No labels are provided. The algorithm finds hidden patterns automatically.
Examples:
โ Customer segmentation
โ Grouping similar products
โ Image compression
๐ฅ 2. What is K-Means?
K-Means divides data into K clusters.
๐ Each cluster has a center called Centroid.
๐น 3. How K-Means Works
Step-by-step:
1๏ธโฃ Choose number of clusters (K)
2๏ธโฃ Select random centroids
3๏ธโฃ Assign points to nearest centroid
4๏ธโฃ Update centroid positions
5๏ธโฃ Repeat until stable
๐น 4. Example
๐ Customer Segmentation
Customers are grouped based on:
โ Age
โ Income
โ Spending habits
๐น 5. Implementation (Python)
from sklearn.cluster import KMeans
# Sample data
X = [[1], [2], [10], [11]]
model = KMeans(n_clusters=2)
model.fit(X)
print(model.labels_)
๐น 6. Important Terms โญ
โ Cluster โ Group of similar points
โ Centroid โ Center of cluster
โ K โ Number of clusters
๐น 7. Choosing Best K (Elbow Method) โญ
๐ Elbow Method helps find optimal K.
The graph looks like an elbow ๐ป
๐น 8. Advantages
โ Simple and fast
โ Works well for grouped data
โ Easy to implement
๐น 9. Disadvantages
โ Need to choose K manually
โ Sensitive to outliers
โ Not good for irregular shapes
๐น 10. Why K-Means is Important?
โ Used in recommendation systems
โ Customer segmentation
โ Market analysis
๐ฏ Todayโs Goal
โ Understand clustering
โ Learn centroids & clusters
โ Implement K-Means
