    Clustering is a Machine Learning technique that involves the grouping of Top highlight

    data points. Given a set of data points, we can use a clustering algorithm to
    classify each data point into a specific group. In theory, data points that are
    in the same group should have similar properties and/or features, while
    data points in different groups should have highly dissimilar properties
    and/or features. Clustering is a method of unsupervised learning and is a
    common technique for statistical data analysis used in many fields.

    In Data Science, we can use clustering analysis to gain some valuable


    insights from our data by seeing what groups the data points fall into when
    we apply a clustering algorithm. Today, we’re going to look at 5 popular
    clustering algorithms that data scientists need to know and their pros and
    cons!

    Conclusion
    There are your top 5 clustering algorithms that a data scientist should
    know! We’ll end off with an awesome visualization of how well these
    algorithms and a few others perform, courtesy of Scikit Learn! Very cool to
    see how the different algorithms compare and contrast with different data!
