● Not suitable for complex tasks without sufficient computational resources.

Q5: What are the advantages and disadvantages of unsupervised learning?


A:
Advantages:

● Can handle complex tasks without labeled data.


● Easier to obtain unlabeled data compared to labeled data.

Disadvantages:

● More difficult than supervised learning due to lack of explicit feedback.


● May produce less accurate results as there is no clear output to verify against.

k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN)

Q6: What is the k-Nearest Neighbors algorithm?


A:
k-NN is a supervised learning algorithm that classifies new data points based on their proximity
to existing data points. It calculates the distance between data points using metrics like
Euclidean or Manhattan distance and assigns the most common label among the k closest
points.

Q7: Explain the steps involved in the k-NN algorithm.

belongs to the cluster with the nearest mean, serving as the cluster's prototype.

Working:

1. Initialize Centroids: Randomly select kkk centroids (initial cluster centers).


2. Assign Clusters: Assign each data point to the nearest centroid based on a distance
metric (e.g., Euclidean distance).
3. Update Centroids: Calculate the new centroids by finding the mean of all points in each
cluster.
4. Repeat: Reassign data points to the nearest centroid and update centroids until
convergence (i.e., when centroids no longer change).

Q2: Explain the mathematical formulation of K-Means Clustering.


A:
Given a dataset of observations (x1,x2,...,xn)(x_1, x_2, ..., x_n)(x1​,x2​,...,xn​), where each
observation is a ddd-dimensional vector, K-Means clustering aims to partition the data into kkk
clusters G={G1,G2,...,Gk}G = \{G_1, G_2, ..., G_k\}G={G1​,G2​,...,Gk​}.

The objective is to minimize the within-cluster sum of squares:

∑i=1k∑x∈Gi∥x−μi∥2\sum_{i=1}^{k} \sum_{x \in G_i} \| x - \mu_i \|^2i=1∑k​x∈Gi​∑​∥x−μi​∥2

where μi\mu_iμi​is the mean of points in cluster GiG_iGi​.

1. Select kkk: Decide the number of clusters.


2. Initialize Centroids: Randomly select kkk centroids.
3. Cluster Assignment: Assign each data point to its nearest centroid to form clusters.
4. Recalculate Centroids: Compute the mean of each cluster to update centroids.
5. Repeat: Reassign points and recalculate centroids until convergence or until the
centroids stabilize.
6. Output: Final clusters with their centroids.
Q4: How do you determine the optimal value of kkk in K-Means Clustering?
A:
The optimal value of kkk can be determined using the Elbow Method, which involves:

1. Running the K-Means algorithm for a range of kkk values.


2. Calculating the Within-Cluster Sum of Squares (WCSS) for each kkk.
3. Plotting kkk against WCSS.
4. Identifying the "elbow point" where the rate of decrease in WCSS slows down, indicating
the optimal kkk.

Q5: What are the advantages of K-Means Clustering?


A:

1. Simplicity: Easy to implement and understand.

5. Interpretability: Results are straightforward and easy to interpret.

Q6: What are the limitations of K-Means Clustering?


A:

1. Predefined kkk: Requires the user to specify kkk beforehand.


2. Sensitivity to Initialization: Results depend on the initial selection of centroids.
3. Fixed Clusters: Not suitable for discovering clusters of varying sizes or densities.
4. Scale Sensitivity: Requires normalization or standardization of data.
5. Numerical Data: Can only handle numerical data.
6. Inconsistent Results: Different runs may yield different cluster assignments.

1. Customer Segmentation: Grouping customers based on purchasing behavior.


2. Data Summarization: Used in image processing for compression.
3. Social Network Analysis: Identifying communities or user groups.
4. Trend Detection: Analyzing dynamic data trends over time.
5. Biological Data Analysis: Clustering gene or protein expression patterns.
Q9: What is the computational cost of K-Means Clustering?
A:
The computational cost of K-Means Clustering is O(k×n×d)O(k \times n \times d)O(k×n×d),
where:

● kkk: Number of clusters.


● nnn: Number of data points.
● ddd: Number of dimensions.

This makes it efficient for large datasets but can be computationally expensive for
high-dimensional data.

Q10: Why is normalization important in K-Means Clustering?


A:
Normalization ensures that all features contribute equally to the clustering process. Without
normalization, features with larger scales dominate the distance calculations, leading to biased
clustering results.
