Unsupervised learning is a type of machine learning where algorithms learn patterns from unlabeled data. Unlike supervised learning, it doesn't rely on predefined labels or outcomes. Here's a quick overview:
Key Concepts 🔍
- Objective: Discover hidden structures in data without explicit guidance
- Common Techniques:
- Clustering (e.g., K-means, DBSCAN)
- Dimensionality reduction (e.g., PCA, t-SNE)
- Anomaly detection
- Association rule learning
Applications and Examples 🌍
- Customer segmentation using clustering algorithms
- Image compression through dimensionality reduction
- Recommendation systems based on association patterns
