Concept:
Builds a hierarchy of clusters by successively merging or splitting clusters based on
their similarity, creating a tree-like structure called a dendrogram where each node Hierarchical Clustering | solver
represents a cluster at a specific level of the hierarchy. Differences between methods arise due to different ways of
defining distance (or similarity) between clusters. The followin…
Approaches:
Frontline Solvers
Agglomerative: Starts with individual data points as separate clusters and
gradually merges the most similar pairs until all data points are in one cluster.
Show all
Divisive: Starts with all data points in one cluster and recursively splits the cluster
into smaller clusters based on similarity.

Key aspects:
Linkage methods: Determines how to calculate the distance between clusters
(e.g., single linkage, complete linkage, average linkage).
Flexibility: Allows for analysis at different levels of granularity by cutting the
dendrogram at different heights to identify clusters.

Advantages:
No need to pre-define the number of clusters
Provides insight into the hierarchical structure of the data

Disadvantages:
Can be computationally expensive for large datasets

Partitional Clustering:
Concept: Divides the data into a predefined number of non-overlapping clusters by
assigning each data point to the closest cluster center.
Popular Algorithm: K-means clustering
Key aspects:
Centroid-based: Each cluster is represented by a centroid (center point)
Iteration process:
Initialize cluster centroids randomly
Assign each data point to the nearest centroid
Recalculate the centroid positions based on the assigned data points
Repeat until convergence (no significant change in cluster
assignments)

Advantages:
Efficient for large datasets
Easy to implement

Disadvantages:
Requires specifying the number of clusters beforehand
Can be sensitive to outliers
May not work well with clusters of irregular shapes or densities

Other Clustering Techniques:


Density-based clustering:
Identifies clusters based on areas of high data density, allowing for clusters of arbitrary
shapes

Spectral clustering:
Utilizes the spectral properties of a similarity matrix to identify clusters, particularly
useful for complex data structures

Model-based clustering:
Assumes data is generated from a mixture of probability distributions and aims to find
the best fit for the data

Generative AI is experimental.
