In this chapter:

• Deciding whether classification or clustering is better suited to the problem you’re trying to solve or the question you need to answer

• Understanding the relationship between classification and supervised learning

• Understanding the connection between clustering and unsupervised learning

• Identifying practical uses for classification and clustering

People don’t build artificial neural networks to engage in whimsical thought. They build them to solve specific problems, answer questions, or identify connections in large volumes of data that point the way to solutions.
