This document discusses different types of clustering techniques used in machine learning. It describes clustering as an unsupervised learning method that groups similar data points together. The main types covered are hard clustering, soft clustering, density-based clustering, hierarchical clustering, and partitioning-based clustering like k-means. K-means and hierarchical clustering are explained in more detail, including examples of how they work. Agglomerative and divisive hierarchical clustering are two approaches defined.
