Is there a typo or am I misunderstanding something?

Hey all! :slight_smile:

I have a question - why in Initializing K-Means lecture (ML Specialization > Unsupervised learning > Week 1 > Clustering) there is μ1, μ1, …, μk? Is it a typo and it should be μ1, μ2, …, μk or am I missing something?

Yes, you’re right! That seems to be a typo in the slide. The slide should actually read μ1, μ2, ..., μk instead of μ1, μ1, ..., μk. The fact that the slide says μ1 twice is probably a small error. But conceptually it should represent different initial centroids, μ1 through μk.
