These are completely different methods in machine learning. The fact that they both have the letter K in their name is a coincidence. K-means is a clustering algorithm that tries to partition a set of points into K sets (clusters) such that the points in each cluster tend to be near each other. It is unsupervised because the points have no external classification. The typical k-means...
Imagine a large law firm takes over a smaller law firm and tries to identify the documents corresponding to different types of cases such as civil or criminal cases which the smaller firm has dealt or is currently dealing with. The presumption is that the documents are not already classified by the smaller law firm. An intuitive way of identifying the documents in such situations is to look for...
This post introduces using linear autoencoder for dimensionality reduction using TensorFlow and Keras. What is a linear autoencoder An autoencoder is a type of artificial neural network used to learn efficient data codings in an unsupervised manner. The aim of an autoencoder is to learn a representation (encoding) for a set of data, typically for dimensionality reduction, by training the network...
