Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions

Question 1 Easy

What is the main objective of K-Means clustering?

💡 Hint: Think about how the algorithm categorizes points based on proximity.

Question 2 Easy

Define 'Noise Point' in the context of DBSCAN.

💡 Hint: Consider what happens to points that are not densely surrounded by others.
