Spectral Clustering in Machine Learning with Scikit-learn
Spectral clustering is a clustering technique used in machine learning to group together similar data sets. It is based on the analysis of the spectra of the similarity or dissimilarity matrices between the data. This technique is particularly effective when the data has a nonlinear structure or when the separation between clusters is not clearly defined in Euclidean space. The spectral clustering process usually involves three steps: the construction of a similarity or dissimilarity matrix, dimensionality reduction, and the application of a clustering algorithm on the transformed data. This technique is useful in several areas, including pattern recognition, image analysis, and document classification.
