There will be a guest lecturer, Bhavana Dalvi, lecturing on k-means on Monday and Thursday, and Ziv will lecture on agglomerative clustering and spectral clustering on Tuesday and Wednesday.
 
(So usually, the lectures will be in different orders to the two sections.)

Mitchell 6.12 - a nice description of EM and k-means.

What You Should Know Afterward

You should know how to implement these methods, and what their relative advantages and disadvantages are.

  • Overview of clustering
  • Distance functions and similarity measures and their impact
  • K-means algorithms
  • How to chose k and what is the impact of large and small k's
  • EM
  • Differences between GM and K-means
