Abstract
This paper presents semi-supervised agglomerative hierarchical clustering algorithm using clusterwise tolerance based pairwise constraints. In semi-supervised clustering, pairwise constraints, that is, must-link and cannot-link, are frequently used in order to improve clustering properties. From that sense, we will propose another way named clusterwise tolerance based pairwise constraints to handle must-link and cannot-link constraints in L2-space. In addition, we will propose semi-supervised agglomerative hierarchical clustering algorithm based on it. We will, moreover, show the effectiveness of the proposed method through numerical examples.
