k-means question #13

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
For the k-means training, does label (in my case, face label) have an influence 
on the clustering?

I'm not sure how sofia-ml implements k-means, but unless they mention otherwise 
it's safe to assume that k-means does not use your labels.  It is an 
unsupervised learning algorithm that just tries to find groups of points close 
to each other in the feature space.

Correct.  Any provided labels are ignored during k-means training.
