Resumé	Robust k-means is a variant of classical k-means clustering designed to resist the influence of outliers. By trimming a specified fraction of the most extreme observations before computing cluster centers, it produces stable and meaningful partitions even when the data contain noise, contamination, or heavy-tailed distributions — situations where standard k-means breaks down.	DBSCAN is a density-based clustering algorithm, introduced by Ester, Kriegel, Sander and Xu in 1996, that groups together points lying in dense regions and flags points in sparse regions as noise. It is effective on noisy data and on clusters of irregular, non-spherical shapes.	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.
