  "term": "Unsupervised classification",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A chemometric method for grouping data points into clusters based on their inherent similarities without prior knowledge of class labels. The algorithm identifies patterns and structures within the data to define these groups. This technique is often used for exploratory data analysis and pattern recognition.",
