What is Machine learning?
Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides computers with the ability to learn without
being explicitly programmed.

ML Use Case – Google self driving car
 Google self driving car is a smart, driverless car.
 It collects data from environment through
sensors.
 Takes decisions like when to speed up, when to
speed down, when to overtake and when to
turn.

Types of Machine Learning
Supervised
learning
Unsupervised
learning
Feed the classifier with training data set and predefined labels.
It will learn to categorize particular data under a specific label.
When and where
should I buy a
house?
House features

Bedrooms
Distance to HQ
Area (in sq.ft)
Locality

An image of fruits is first fed into the system.
The system identifies different fruits using features like color, size and it categorizes them.
When a new fruit is shown, it analyses its features and puts it into the category having
similar featured items.

What is Clustering?
Clustering means grouping of objects based on the information found in the data describing the objects or their
relationship.
 The goal is that objects in one group should be similar to each other but different from objects in another group.
 It deals with finding a structure in a collection of unlabeled data.
Some Examples of clustering methods are:
 K-means Clustering
 Fuzzy/ C-means Clustering
 Hierarchical Clustering

Clustering Use Cases
Marketing
Seismic studiesLand use
Insurance
Marketing
Discovering distinct groups in customer databases,
such as customers who make lot of long-distance
calls.
Insurance
Identifying groups of crop insurance policy holders
with a high average claim rate. Farmers crash crops,
when it is “profitable”.
Land use
Identification of areas of similar land use in a GIS
database.
Seismic studies
Identifying probable areas for oil/gas exploration
based on seismic data

Types of clustering

Types of Clustering
Exclusive Clustering
• An item belongs exclusively to
one cluster, not several.
• K-means does this sort of
exclusive clustering.
• An item can belong to multiple
clusters
• Its degree of association with each
cluster is known
• Fuzzy/ C-means does this sort of
exclusive clustering.
Overlapping Clustering Hierarchial Clustering
• When two cluster have a parent-
child relationship or a tree-like
structure then it is Hierarchical

K-means clustering

K-means clustering
k-means
clustering
k-means clustering is one of the
simplest algorithms which uses
unsupervised learning method to
solve known clustering issues.
Divides entire dataset into k clusters.
k-means clustering require following
two inputs.
1. K = number of clusters
2. Training set(m) = {x1, x2, x3,......, xm}
Total population
Group 2 Group 3Group 1 Group 4

Example - Google News
Various news URLs related to Trump and Modi are grouped under one section.
K-means clustering automatically clusters new stories about the same topic into pre-defined clusters.

How k-means work?
Choose number of clusters
Initialization
Cluster assignment
Move centroid
Optimization
Convergence
The WSS is defined as the sum of the squared distance between each member of the
cluster and its centroid.
Mathematically:
where, p(i)= data point
q(i)= closest centroid to data point
The idea of the elbow method is to choose the k after which the WSS decrease
is almost constant.

Randomly initialize k points called the cluster centroids.
Here, k = 2
Value of k(number of clusters) can be determined by the elbow curve.

 Compute the distance between the data points and the cluster

 Depending upon the minimum distance, data points are divided into two
groups.

 Compute the mean of blue dots.
 Reposition blue cluster centroid to this mean.
 Compute the mean of orange dots.
 Reposition orange cluster centroid to this mean.

Problem Statement
Challenge: Netflix wanted to increase its business by showing most popular movies on its website.
Solution: So, Netflix decided to group the movies based on budget, gross and facebook likes
Approach: For this, Netflix took imdb dataset of 5000 values and applied k-means clustering to group it.
But how would I
know which movie
set to show and
which to not ?

Demo

Solution – R Script

Output
 We got three clusters based on budget and gross.
 Lets see how good are these clusters.
 Using command cl gives following output.
Within cluster sum of squares by cluster:
(between_SS / total _ SS = 72.4 %)
 Higher the %age value, better is the model.

Further, lets relate cluster assignment to individual characteristics like director facebook likes(column 5) and movie
facebook likes(column 28). Cluster 2 has maximum movie likes as well as director likes.
Output

Try this out
I want to know the profit
values of movie

Hmm… I will go with cluster
2. It is making maximum
profit and has maximum
facebook likes.
