K-means
k-means is one of the most commonly used clustering algorithms that clusters the data points into a predefined number of clusters. The MLlib implementation includes a parallelized variant of the k-means++ method called kmeans||.
KMeans
is implemented as an Estimator
and generates a KMeansModel
as the base model.

Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA)
LDA
is implemented as an Estimator
that supports both EMLDAOptimizer
and OnlineLDAOptimizer
,
and generates a LDAModel
as the base models. Expert users may cast a LDAModel
generated by
EMLDAOptimizer
to a DistributedLDAModel
if needed.
Refer to the Scala API docs for more details.

Bisecting k-means
Bisecting k-means is a kind of hierarchical clustering using a divisive (or "top-down") approach: all observations start in one cluster, and splits are performed recursively as one moves down the hierarchy.
Bisecting K-means can often be much faster than regular K-means, but it will generally produce a different clustering.
BisectingKMeans
is implemented as an Estimator
and generates a BisectingKMeansModel
as the base model.
