Résumé	Affinity propagation, introduced by Brendan Frey and Delbert Dueck in 2007, is a clustering algorithm that identifies representative 'exemplars' among the data by exchanging messages between every pair of points until a consistent set of clusters emerges. Unlike k-means it does not require the number of clusters to be specified in advance — that number arises from the data and a 'preference' parameter — and it works directly from pairwise similarities, which need not be a metric.	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.	K-Means Clustering is a centroid-based partitional clustering algorithm, traced to J. MacQueen in 1967, that splits data into k clusters by assigning each observation to its nearest cluster centre. It is widely used for marketing segmentation, customer grouping, and exploratory analysis.
