Unsupervised Learning

K-Means is a clustering algorithm that partitions data into K clusters based on feature similarity, requiring the number of clusters to be predetermined. Hierarchical clustering creates a tree-like structure of clusters, allowing for flexible cluster selection and visual representation through dendrograms. Both methods are utilized in fields like market segmentation and image processing to analyze unlabelled data.
