During a Machine Learning course which I have done I have learnt about the K means algorithm. Is it possible to use the principals of K means within a neural network?

  • Do you know what a neural network is? Or are you asking if a neural network can be used to cluster? – nbro Jul 16 '20 at 03:13
  • I do know what neural networks are, what I am asking is if you are able to use the principals of K means (the choosing of the cluster centroids and the updating of the centroids position) and use those principals in order to find the optimal centroid position via a neural network. – jr123456jr987654321 Jul 16 '20 at 03:31

    Yes it is possible, here is a paper that describes the process: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.07292.pdf – razvanc92 Jul 16 '20 at 07:54
  • @razvanc92 Feel free to provide a formal answer below. Maybe you could just summarize their abstract or so if you are not familiar with the paper. – nbro Jul 16 '20 at 21:15
