Questions tagged [unsupervised-learning]

Unsupervised learning refers to machine learning contexts in which there is no prior 'training' period in which the learning agent is trained on objects of known type. As such, supervised learning includes such disciplines as mathematical clustering, whereby data is segmented into clusters based on the minimisation or maximisation of mathematical properties and not on an attempt to classify by understanding the right context.

Unsupervised learning (or clustering) refers to machine learning algorithms in which there is no 'label' available for the training data and the model tries to learn the underlying manifold. As such, unsupervised learning includes such disciplines as mathematical clustering, whereby data is segmented into clusters based on the minimization or maximization of mathematical properties and not on an attempt to classify by understanding the right context.

Does Imagenet contain unlabeled data?

Does Imagenet contain unlabeled examples like STL-10 dataset? because I see that the dataset is used for unsupervised learning but it seems to me it has only labeled examples.

If a DBSCAN algorithm is working correctly, is it possible to result in a cluster with less than minPoints members?

I am new to using the DBSCAN algorithm. Quick summary; it has two parameters: epsilon - to specify the acceptable "distance" between two points, under which they can be considered close enough to cluster. minPoints - to specify the minimum number…

Learning algorithm to implement XOR gate

I know we can't use perceptron learning algorithm to implement XOR gate because it is a lineraly inseparable problem. So my question is which learning algorithm and which neural network can we use to implement XOR gate? I tried using Delta rule, but…

Getting back the string values from previously label encoded values in python?

I wanted to predict some string values using unsupervised learning. I converted a categorical column into numerical by using label encoding and predicted the values. Now I want to know the string values of the predicted numerical values(label…
