תקציר	Self-supervised DBSCAN is a two-stage unsupervised pipeline that first trains a neural encoder on a pretext task — such as contrastive learning or masked reconstruction — to produce compact, semantically meaningful embeddings from unlabeled data, and then applies DBSCAN in the resulting embedding space to discover arbitrarily shaped clusters without requiring any class labels.	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 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.
