| Clustering is a process that groups a set of objects into several subsets which are called clusters. The goal of the clustering process is to define the clusters in a way that each object and the object that is not more similar to another object are member of the same cluster. In other words, objects within a cluster should be most similar while objects of different clusters should be most different to each other. | Clustering is a process that groups a set of objects into several subsets which are called clusters.
