Abstract: |
Clustering is the third main task in data mining. This chapter aims to familiarize the reader with the related concepts and techniques. It begins with introductory concepts and various similarity measures, including distances for numerical, binary, categorical, and mixed attributes. Next, the chapter presents different categories of clustering methods, such as partitioning methods, hierarchical methods, density-based methods, and grid-based methods. Specific algorithms are discussed, including the k-means algorithm, agglomerative hierarchical clustering, and divisive hierarchical clustering. Finally, the chapter covers neural network-based clustering techniques, specifically Kohonen’s self-organizing maps (SOMs).
