Tiivistelmä	Mean Shift is a non-parametric, iterative mode-seeking algorithm that identifies clusters as the peaks of an underlying probability density function. Originally introduced by Fukunaga and Hostetler (1975) for gradient estimation in pattern recognition, it was substantially extended and popularized by Comaniciu and Meer (2002) for robust feature-space analysis and image segmentation. Unlike k-means, Mean Shift requires no prior specification of the number of clusters, deriving cluster structure entirely from the data density.	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.
