Dec 31, 2018 at 15:06 comment added theantomc @Wacax unfortunatly I need use k-means for requirements. I see many example like my case, but have different Tf-idf, because starting from dataset. I m starting from tf-idf matrix, so missing vocabulary
Dec 31, 2018 at 14:59 comment added wacax @theantomc then the approach is erroneous and for that reason I'm going to vote to keep the question closed. If your intention is to cluster word meanings then you should look for approaches like word embeddings. If you want to cluster documents or users in your case, then k-means becomes a good option as each word becomes a feature to be measured for a distance. Check out this article about word embeddings multithreaded.stitchfix.com/blog/2015/03/11/… it might help with what you are trying to do.
Dec 31, 2018 at 14:25 comment added theantomc i m try to cluster word, and the output i think will be a list of similar word for similar topic
Dec 31, 2018 at 13:54 comment added wacax @theantomc are you trying to cluster words or users. In the edit you proposed it says you are trying to cluster words, for which k-means would be the wrong method but if it's user what you are trying to cluster then this question could be edited to reflect that intention.

Dec 30, 2018 at 23:43 comment added theantomc maybe I have to reformulate the question. Unfortunately I saw only this example and I saw these labels and maybe I was too tied to this particular. @SeanOwen My question was more specific than k-means, because I was trying to catalog users in different groups, but I understand how it is possible (it seems too magical) how I can divide them without knowing anything except the TD-IDF matrix and print with that example of related topics. This is why I tied myself to those labels.. I will edit the question.
Dec 30, 2018 at 14:32 comment added Sean Owen The question doesn't make sense; k-means is an unsupervised technique and by nature has nothing to do with labels

Dec 30, 2018 at 9:19 comment added theantomc the question is...how to apply k-means without the label. I edit the question
