Rezumat	Online K-means is a streaming variant of the classical K-means algorithm that updates cluster centroids one observation at a time — or in small mini-batches — without storing the entire dataset in memory. It is particularly suited to large-scale, real-time, or continuously arriving data where batch recomputation would be too slow or impractical.	A self-organizing map is an unsupervised neural network, introduced by Teuvo Kohonen in 1982, that projects high-dimensional data onto a low-dimensional (usually two-dimensional) grid of prototype vectors while preserving the data's topology — nearby inputs map to nearby grid cells. It is used for visualization, clustering, and exploratory analysis, turning complex data into an ordered, interpretable map.
