# Customer-Segmentation-using-Machine-Learning
# 🛍️ Customer Segmentation using Machine Learning

The retailer has hired us to help them create customer clusters, a.k.a "customer segments" through a data-driven approach.
Welcome to the **Customer Segmentation** project!

They've provided us a dataset of past purchase data at the transaction level.
Our task is to build a clustering model using that dataset.
Our clustering model should factor in both aggregate sales patterns and specific items purchased.
In this project, we use **unsupervised machine learning** techniques to divide customers into different groups (called **clusters**) based on their purchasing behavior.

This project is based on Unsupervised Learning.
The idea is to help a retailer better understand their customers — for example, who are the high spenders, which customers buy similar items, or who buys frequently but spends less.

Input dataset is present in Files folder.

I jupyter Notebbook their is actual coding right from Data Analysis to clustering using K-mean.
## 📂 What This Project Does

The retailer has provided **transaction-level data** (i.e., each row is a customer's purchase).

Our job is to:

* Analyze this data
* Understand buying patterns
* Build a **clustering model** that groups similar customers together

We use:

* **Data analysis** to explore the data
* **K-Means clustering** to create the customer groups

---

## 🧠 What is Unsupervised Learning?

This project uses **unsupervised learning**, which means:

* We don’t have any labels (like "loyal customer" or "one-time buyer")
* The model finds patterns and forms groups **on its own**, based only on the data

---

## 📊 What’s in the Notebook?

The Jupyter Notebook included in this project walks through the entire process step-by-step:

1. **Loading the data**
2. **Exploring and cleaning the data**
3. **Analyzing customer behavior**
4. **Building a clustering model (K-Means)**
5. **Visualizing the customer segments**
6. **Interpreting the results**

---

## 📁 Dataset

The input dataset is located in the **Files** folder.

It contains:

* Customer IDs
* Items purchased
* Quantity
* Price
* Transaction date
* And more...

---

## 🔧 Tools & Libraries Used

* Python
* Jupyter Notebook
* Pandas
* NumPy
* Matplotlib / Seaborn
* Scikit-learn (for K-Means)

---

## 📈 Outcome

At the end of the project, you'll be able to:

* Understand how to segment customers using data
* Create meaningful clusters
* Use clustering results to improve business decisions (like marketing or product targeting)

---

## 🚀 Getting Started

To run this project on your machine:

1. Clone the repo or download the files
2. Open the Jupyter Notebook
3. Run the cells step-by-step

---

## 💡 Who is this for?

This project is great for:

* Beginners in machine learning
* Anyone interested in customer analytics
* Aspiring data analysts or data scientists
