Resumé	Affinity propagation, introduced by Brendan Frey and Delbert Dueck in 2007, is a clustering algorithm that identifies representative 'exemplars' among the data by exchanging messages between every pair of points until a consistent set of clusters emerges. Unlike k-means it does not require the number of clusters to be specified in advance — that number arises from the data and a 'preference' parameter — and it works directly from pairwise similarities, which need not be a metric.	Hierarchical clustering is an unsupervised method that groups observations into nested clusters and draws the result as a dendrogram, so the number of clusters need not be fixed in advance. Its agglomerative form rests on the objective-function grouping criterion introduced by Joe Ward in 1963.
