Resum	Semi-supervised K-means extends standard K-means clustering by incorporating partial supervision — either a small set of labeled seed points or pairwise must-link and cannot-link constraints — to guide cluster formation. It bridges unsupervised clustering and fully supervised classification, enabling more meaningful clusters when labels are scarce but costly to obtain in full.	Spectral Clustering is a graph-based unsupervised learning algorithm, formalized by Ng, Jordan, and Weiss in 2002, that maps data points into a low-dimensional eigenspace derived from the similarity graph's Laplacian before applying k-means. This spectral embedding makes it possible to recover clusters of arbitrary shape — rings, crescents, interleaved spirals — that Euclidean distance-based methods consistently fail to separate.
