Normalized mutual information (NMI) is a measure used to evaluate the similarity between two clustering results by quantifying the amount of shared information between them. It effectively assesses how much knowing one clustering can help predict the other, while also normalizing this value to ensure it falls within a defined range. This makes NMI particularly useful in comparing different clustering algorithms in both supervised and unsupervised learning contexts.
congrats on reading the definition of normalized mutual information. now let's actually learn it.
