Unsupervised Learning Concepts

Front

What is Clustering in unsupervised learning?

Back

Clustering is the algorithm that groups similar data points together based on their inherent patterns or similarities. Common algorithms include K-means clustering, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN.

Front

What is Anomaly Detection?

Back

Anomaly Detection is the process of identifying rare or unusual instances in a dataset, such as fraud detection in financial transactions, network intrusion detection in cybersecurity, or equipment failure detection in predictive maintenance.

Front

What is Dimensionality Reduction?

Back

Dimensionality Reduction involves reducing the number of input variables or features in a dataset while retaining important information, commonly used in image processing, signal processing, or high-dimensional data visualization.

Front

What is Association Mining?

Back

Association Mining is the discovery of interesting relationships or patterns within large datasets, such as market basket analysis to identify frequently co-occurring items in customer transactions.

Front

What is Density Estimation?

Back

Density Estimation is the process of estimating the probability density function of the input data, useful for modeling and understanding the underlying distribution of data in fields like finance, environmental science, or genetics.

Front

What is Generative Modeling?

Back

Generative Modeling involves learning and generating new data that is similar to the training data distribution, used in tasks like generating realistic images, creating synthetic data for training, or text generation in natural language processing.

Front

What is Clustering for Image Segmentation?

Back

Clustering for Image Segmentation is the process of segmenting images into meaningful regions or objects, commonly used in computer vision tasks such as object recognition, medical image analysis, or autonomous vehicles.

Front

What is Topic Modeling?

Back

Topic Modeling is the discovery of abstract topics within a collection of documents, assisting in organizing large archives of text data, identifying themes in social media discussions, or aiding in information retrieval.
