خلاصه	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.	K-means is a classic unsupervised partitional clustering algorithm that divides a dataset into K non-overlapping groups by iteratively assigning each observation to its nearest centroid and updating centroids as the mean of their assigned points. It is one of the most widely used exploratory tools in machine learning and data analysis.	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.
