Sammendrag	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.	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.	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.
