Not sure why you're getting down-voted. You're right, the author didn't close the loop. Typically we would expect to see an insight after you apply the ML technique.
So they extracted features, clustered the pages and found... what?
I am sure they learned something but it might be proprietary.
- abadon 8y agoPeople just like to be cunts. I've been doing ML for 15 years and I'm not apologetic about calling shit shit. The article was 101-level stuff and there was no application to an interesting problem. "ML is hard. Let's go online shopping!" Given that clustering is unsupervised, it's one of the easiest ML methods. Did they use kNN to categorize new instances? Did they use PCA to make the model simpler? I can cluster shit all day with no effort, but my higher-ups wouldn't be pleased.
