Machine Learning Concepts: Clustering, Classification, and Optimization
Clustering with K-Means
In k-means clustering, if cluster centers are known, assigning points to clusters is straightforward by computing distances. Conversely, if cluster assignments are known, centers are easily calculated by averaging points within each cluster. Stopping criteria include a percentage decrease threshold or checking for assignment changes. K-means has numerous equivalent global minima. In high-dimensional spaces, local minima are common, making optimization challenging.
