- Card 1HintImagine grouping similar items in a pantryMemory TipGrouping like with like
- Card 2HintThink of K-means as finding cluster centers and then assigning points to the closest center.Memory TipK for clusters, mean for distance
- Card 3HintThink of DBSCAN as finding dense regions of data points.Memory TipDBSCAN: Density-based, spatially clustering of applications with noise
- Card 4HintThink of Eps as the radius around a point that defines its neighborhood.Memory TipEps: Epsilon, the radius of the neighborhood
- Card 5HintThink of the optimal Eps as the value that creates meaningful clusters without including too much noise.Memory TipFinding the perfect radius
- Card 6HintThink of cluster validity as confirming that the clusters make sense and are useful.Memory TipValidating the grouping
- Card 7HintThink of the knee as the point where the curve flattens out.Memory TipThe bend is the optimal choice
- Card 8HintThink of density as how close data points are to each other.Memory TipClusters based on density
- Card 9HintThink of noise as outliers or irrelevant data points.Memory TipIgnoring the noise
- Card 10HintThink of distance as how far apart two points are.Memory TipClustering by proximity
