This presentation about hierarchical clustering will help you understand what is clustering, what is hierarchical clustering, how does hierarchical clustering work, what is distance measure, what is agglomerative clustering, what is divisive clustering and you will also see a demo on how to group states based on their sales using clustering method. Clustering is the method of dividing the objects into clusters which are similar between them and are dissimilar to the objects belonging to another cluster. It is used to find data clusters such that each cluster has the most closely matched data. Prototype-based clustering, hierarchical clustering, and density-based clustering are the three types of clustering algorithms. Lets us discuss hierarchical clustering in this video. In simple terms, Hierarchical clustering is separating data into different groups based on some measure of similarity.

A distribution in statistics is a function that shows the possible values for a variable and how often they occur.
In probability theory and statistics, the Normal Distribution, also called the Gaussian Distribution.
is the most significant continuous probability distribution.
Sometimes it is also called a bell curve.
tIt appears that you've provided a set of instructions or input format for a machine learning task, particularly clustering using K-Means. Let's break down what each component means:
(number of clusters):
This is a placeholder for an actual numerical value that represents the desired number of clusters into which you want to divide your training data. In K-Means clustering, you need to specify in advance how many clusters (K) you want the algorithm to find in your data.
Training set:
The "training set" is your dataset, which contains the data points that you want to cluster. Each data point represents an observation or sample in your dataset.
(drop convention):
It's not clear from this input what "(drop convention)" refers to. It could be related to a specific data preprocessing or handling instruction, but without additional context or information, it's challenging to provide a precise explanation for this part.
In summary, you are expected to provide the number of clusters (K) that you want to discover in your training data, and the training data itself contains the observations or samples that will be used for clustering. The "(drop convention)" part may require further clarification or context to provide a meaningful explanation.Clustering is a fundamental concept in the field of machine learning and data analysis that involves grouping similar data points together based on certain criteria or patterns. It is a technique used to discover inherent structures, relationships, or similarities within a dataset when there are no predefined labels or categories. Clustering is widely employed in various domains, including marketing, biology, image analysis, recommendation systems, and more. In this comprehensive explanation of clustering, we will explore its principles, methods, applications, and key considerations.

A survey on Efficient Enhanced K-Means Clustering Algorithmijsrd.com
Data mining is the process of using technology to identify patterns and prospects from large amount of information. In Data Mining, Clustering is an important research topic and wide range of unverified classification application. Clustering is technique which divides a data into meaningful groups. K-means clustering is a method of cluster analysis which aims to partition n observations into k clusters in which each observation belongs to the cluster with the nearest mean. In this paper, we present the comparison of different K-means clustering algorithms.
K means Clustering - algorithm to cluster n objectsVoidVampire
The k-means algorithm is an algorithm to cluster n objects based on attributes into k partitions, where k < n.
It is similar to the expectation-maximization algorithm for mixtures of Gaussians in that they both attempt to find the centers of natural clusters in the data.
It assumes that the object attributes form a vector space.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. INTRODUCTION
Clustering is an unsupervised learning method of data abstraction.
The method of identifying similar groups of data in a dataset is
called Clustering.
It is basically a collection of objects on the basis of similarity and
dissimilarity between them.
3. TYPES OF CLUSTERING
Hard Clustering
In hard clustering, each data point either belongs to a cluster
completely or not.
Soft Clustering
Soft clustering is about grouping the data items such that
an item can exists in multiple clusters.
4. CLUSTERING METHODS
Density-Based Methods :
These method search the data space for areas of varied density of data points in
the data space.
Hierarchical Based Methods:
In this method, the clusters forms a tree-type structure based on the hierarchy
New clusters are formed using the previously formed one.
It is divided into two category
• Agglomerative
• Divisive
5. Partitioning Based Methods:
These methods partition the objects into k cluster and each partition forms
one cluster.
example :- K means
Grid-Based Methods:
In this method, the data space is formulated into a finite number of cells
that form a grid-like structure.
6. K Means Clustering
It is an algorithm to group similar elements or data points to cluster.
The number of groups or cluster is represented by k.
It assumes that the object attribute forms a vector space based on features
that are already provided.
7. K Means Clustering Algorithm
Step 1: First we initialize k points, called means, randomly.
Step 2:We categorize each item to its closest mean and we update the mean’s
coordinates, which are the averages of the items categorized in that mean so
far.
Step 3: We repeat the process for a given number of iterations and at the end,
we have our clusters.
8. Example of K-means Clustering
Let us consider a table
Individual Height Weight
1 185 72
2 170 56
3 168 60
4 179 68
5 182 72
9. Step 1: Randomly we choose two centroids for two clusters
k1=(185,72)
k2=(170,56)
Step 2: Now using these centroids we compute Eucledian Distance 3rd point
ED=sqrt[(xo-xc)^2+(y0-yc)^2]
k1=sqrt[(168-185)^2+(60-72)^2]
k1=20.80
k2=sqrt[(168-170)^2+(60-56)^2]
k2=4.48
Therefore 3 belongs to k2
Step 3: Calculate new centroid values for k2
k2=[(170+168)/2 , (60+56)/2]
k2=(169,58)
Individual Height Weight
1 185 72
2 170 56
3 168 60
4 179 68
5 182 72
11. Hierarchical Clustering
Hierarchical Clustering finds successive clusters using previously
established clusters.
No Assumptions on the number of clusters.
12. Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering
Initially consider every data point as an individual Cluster and at every
step, merge the nearest pairs of the cluster.
It is a bottom-up method.
At first every data set is considered as individual entity or cluster.
At every iteration, the clusters merge with different clusters until one
cluster is formed.
14. Divisive Hierarchical Clustering
Divisive Hierarchical clustering is precisely the opposite of the
Agglomerative Hierarchical clustering.
In Divisive Hierarchical clustering, we take into account all of the data
points as a single cluster.
In every iteration, we separate the data points from the clusters which
aren’t comparable.
In the end, we are left with N clusters.
