Course Description
In these lessons, you’ll learn the most commonly used clustering algorithms and what problems they typically apply to. We’ll cover and assess their relative strengths and weaknesses, and the tradeoffs between them.
This course will also demosntrate how to navigate different methods of clustering algorithms. You’ll learn about agglomerative clustering methods, spectral clustering, and Gaussian mixture models. Finally, this course will explain mini-batch k-means and DBSCAN. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to differentiate between a variety of clustering algorithms.
