Zusammenfassung	Explainable HDBSCAN combines the hierarchical density-based clustering algorithm HDBSCAN with post-hoc explainability methods — primarily SHAP — to reveal which input features drive cluster membership and separation. It retains HDBSCAN's ability to find clusters of varying shape and density while adding a principled, auditable explanation layer.	Explainable K-Means is a post-hoc and in-model interpretability approach to standard K-Means clustering that replaces or approximates cluster assignments with a small axis-aligned decision tree. Each leaf of the tree corresponds to one cluster, and every data point is assigned to a cluster by following a simple sequence of threshold rules on individual features — making cluster membership fully transparent and human-readable.
