This clustering algorithm was developed by macqueen, and is one of the simplest and the best known unsupervised learning algorithms that solve the wellknown clustering problem. But the known algorithms for this are much slower than k means. We can take any random objects as the initial centroids or the first k objects can also serve as the initial centroids. Each line represents an item, and it contains numerical values one for each feature split by commas. Classification is the result of supervised learning which means that there is a known label that you want the system to generate for example, if you built a fruit classifier, it would say this is an orange, this is an apple, based on you showing it examples of apples and oranges.
