Using Clustering Algorithms to Predict New Data: A Guide to k-Modes Clustering and Semi-Supervised Learning
Clustering Algorithms and Predicting New Data Understanding k-Modes Clustering K-modes clustering is an extension of the popular K-means clustering algorithm. It’s designed to handle categorical variables instead of numerical ones, making it a suitable choice for data with nominal attributes. The Problem: Predicting New Data with Clustering Output When working with clustering algorithms, one common task is to identify the underlying structure or patterns in the data. However, this doesn’t necessarily translate to predicting new data points that haven’t been seen before during training.
