Clustering is the task of grouping a set of objects such that objects in the same group (cluster) are more similar to each other than to those in other groups.
- Compression
- Simplifying data for easier learning
- Visualization
In computer vision, the 1st face recognition algorithms used PCA and SVD in order to represent faces as a linear combination of “eigenfaces”, do dimensionality reduction, and then match faces to identities via simple methods; although modern methods are much more sophisticated, many still depend on similar techniques.
