(A) Discuss the connections and differences between partitional clustering and hierarchical clustering. (B) Explain self-organizing map and its "topology preserving properties". (C) Training self-organizing map needs to specify several parameters. Name three parameters and explain their purpose. (D) Given a set of points, students A and B apply k-means clustering to cluster these points into M clusters, respectively. Due to various reasons, their clustering results are not identical. You are invited to determine whose clustering result is better. Please describe your solution. (A) Discuss the connections and differences between partitional clustering and hierarchical clustering.
