Abstract: 

Clustering is a way of grouping data points into different clusters consisting of similar data points. The objects with the possible similarities remain in a group that has less or no similarities with another group.  In this workshop, we explore various clustering approaches in centralized environments and provide various metrics for finding performance of clustering methods in the literature. We also provide basic concepts on some well-known clustering approaches and their differences followed by the performance discussion of each of the clustering methods. We introduce the ways by which we can improve clustering quality and justify the outperformance of the methods that we discuss.

Workshop Outline:

Clustering concepts and well-known approaches (k-means, Hierarchical, …). Quality metrics (Silhouette coefficient and Rand Index, and Adjusted Rand Index). Basic Implementations of clustering approaches in python

Prerequisites:

Basic Statistics concepts, basic python programming
