The K-means algorithm is a method for dividing a set of data points into distinct clusters, or groups, based on similar attributes. It is an unsupervised learning algorithm which means it does not require labeled data in order to find patterns in the dataset.
K-means is an approachable introduction to clustering for developers and data scientists interested in machine learning. In this article, you will learning how to implement k-means entirely from scratch and gain a strong understanding of the k-means algorithm.
