## Clustering
Clustering is an unsupervised learning problem whereby we aim to group subsets
of entities with one another based on some notion of similarity. Clustering is
often used for exploratory analysis and/or as a component of a hierarchical
supervised learning pipeline (in which distinct classifiers or regression
models are trained for each cluster).
MLlib supports
[k-means](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-means_clustering) clustering, one of
the most commonly used clustering algorithms that clusters the data points into
predefined number of clusters. The MLlib implementation includes a parallelized
variant of the [k-means++](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-means%2B%2B) method
called [kmeans||](http://theory.stanford.edu/~sergei/papers/vldb12-kmpar.pdf).
The implementation in MLlib has the following parameters:
* *k* is the number of desired clusters.
* *maxIterations* is the maximum number of iterations to run.
* *initializationMode* specifies either random initialization or
initialization via k-means\|\|.
* *runs* is the number of times to run the k-means algorithm (k-means is not
guaranteed to find a globally optimal solution, and when run multiple times on
a given dataset, the algorithm returns the best clustering result).
* *initializationSteps* determines the number of steps in the k-means\|\| algorithm.
* *epsilon* determines the distance threshold within which we consider k-means to have converged.
## Examples
<div class="codetabs">
<div data-lang="scala" markdown="1">
The following code snippets can be executed in `spark-shell`.
In the following example after loading and parsing data, we use the
[`KMeans`](api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.clustering.KMeans) object to cluster the data
into two clusters. The number of desired clusters is passed to the algorithm. We then compute Within
Set Sum of Squared Error (WSSSE). You can reduce this error measure by increasing *k*. In fact the
optimal *k* is usually one where there is an "elbow" in the WSSSE graph.
{% highlight scala %}
import org.apache.spark.mllib.clustering.KMeans
import org.apache.spark.mllib.linalg.Vectors
// Load and parse the data
val data = sc.textFile("data/mllib/kmeans_data.txt")
val parsedData = data.map(s => Vectors.dense(s.split(' ').map(_.toDouble))).cache()
// Cluster the data into two classes using KMeans
val numClusters = 2
val numIterations = 20
val clusters = KMeans.train(parsedData, numClusters, numIterations)
// Evaluate clustering by computing Within Set Sum of Squared Errors
val WSSSE = clusters.computeCost(parsedData)
println("Within Set Sum of Squared Errors = " + WSSSE)
{% endhighlight %}
</div>
<div data-lang="java" markdown="1">
All of MLlib's methods use Java-friendly types, so you can import and call them there the same
way you do in Scala. The only caveat is that the methods take Scala RDD objects, while the
Spark Java API uses a separate `JavaRDD` class. You can convert a Java RDD to a Scala one by
calling `.rdd()` on your `JavaRDD` object. A standalone application example
that is equivalent to the provided example in Scala is given below:
{% highlight java %}
import org.apache.spark.api.java.*;
import org.apache.spark.api.java.function.Function;
import org.apache.spark.mllib.clustering.KMeans;
import org.apache.spark.mllib.clustering.KMeansModel;
import org.apache.spark.mllib.linalg.Vector;
import org.apache.spark.mllib.linalg.Vectors;
import org.apache.spark.SparkConf;
public class KMeansExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SparkConf conf = new SparkConf().setAppName("K-means Example");
JavaSparkContext sc = new JavaSparkContext(conf);
// Load and parse data
String path = "data/mllib/kmeans_data.txt";
JavaRDD<String> data = sc.textFile(path);
JavaRDD<Vector> parsedData = data.map(
new Function<String, Vector>() {
public Vector call(String s) {
String[] sarray = s.split(" ");
double[] values = new double[sarray.length];
for (int i = 0; i < sarray.length; i++)
values[i] = Double.parseDouble(sarray[i]);
return Vectors.dense(values);
}
}
);
parsedData.cache();
// Cluster the data into two classes using KMeans
int numClusters = 2;
int numIterations = 20;
KMeansModel clusters = KMeans.train(parsedData.rdd(), numClusters, numIterations);
// Evaluate clustering by computing Within Set Sum of Squared Errors
double WSSSE = clusters.computeCost(parsedData.rdd());
System.out.println("Within Set Sum of Squared Errors = " + WSSSE);
}
}
{% endhighlight %}
In order to run the above standalone application, follow the instructions
provided in the [Standalone
Applications](quick-start.html#standalone-applications) section of the Spark
quick-start guide. Be sure to also include *spark-mllib* to your build file as
a dependency.
