klasterizacijai

Klasterizacija, often translated as clustering, is a machine learning technique that involves grouping a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group are more similar to each other than to those in other groups. It is an unsupervised learning method, meaning it does not rely on pre-labeled data. The goal is to discover inherent groupings or structures within data.

The process of klasterizacija aims to partition data points into clusters based on their features or attributes. The similarity between data points is typically measured using a distance metric, such as Euclidean distance. Various algorithms exist for performing klasterizacija, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Common examples include K-means, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN.

K-means, for instance, aims to partition n observations into k clusters in which each observation belongs to the cluster with the nearest mean (cluster centroid). Hierarchical clustering, on the other hand, builds a tree of clusters, either by recursively partitioning the data (divisive) or by merging data points (agglomerative). DBSCAN identifies clusters based on density, grouping together points that are closely packed together.

Klasterizacija finds applications in a wide range of fields. In marketing, it is used for customer segmentation to tailor marketing campaigns. In image analysis, it can group pixels to segment images. In biology, it is employed to group genes with similar expression patterns. It is also used in anomaly detection, document analysis, and recommendation systems. The effectiveness of klasterizacija depends heavily on the choice of algorithm, the similarity measure, and the quality of the input data.
