Unsupervised Learning — Lecture Notes

Generated by ChatGPT — August 09, 2025

1. Overview
Unsupervised learning works with unlabeled data to find hidden patterns or intrinsic structures. Main categories:
clustering and dimensionality reduction.

2. Clustering
Partition data into distinct groups based on similarity. Algorithms: k-means, hierarchical clustering, DBSCAN.

3. Dimensionality Reduction
Reduce feature space while preserving important structure: PCA, t-SNE, UMAP.

4. Applications
Market segmentation, anomaly detection, document/topic modeling.

5. Challenges
Choosing the number of clusters, interpreting results, scaling to large datasets.

6. Evaluation
Metrics include silhouette score, Davies–Bouldin index, and domain-specific validation.
