Misc. Data Science: Clustering

"Model-based clustering assumes that the data were generated by a model and tries to recover the original model from the data. The model that we recover from the data then defines clusters and an assignment of documents to clusters. A commonly used criterion for estimating the model parameters is maximum likelihood.nlp.stanford.edu › IR-book › html › htmledition › model-based-clusteri...
