สรุป	Association Rule Mining is an unsupervised data-mining technique that discovers co-occurrence patterns among items in transactional datasets. Formally introduced by Agrawal, Imieliński, and Swami in 1993, and refined with the landmark Apriori algorithm by Agrawal and Srikant in 1994, it identifies rules of the form X ⇒ Y — meaning that transactions containing itemset X tend to also contain itemset Y — quantified by support, confidence, and lift.	Formal concept analysis derives a hierarchy of concepts from a simple table of which objects have which attributes. Founded by Rudolf Wille in 1982 on lattice theory, it pairs each set of objects with the attributes they all share to form 'formal concepts', then organizes these into a concept lattice — a mathematically grounded, interpretable hierarchy used for knowledge discovery, ontology building, and explainable analysis of categorical data.	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.
