Semi-supervised K-means/Evidence
Method evidence record

Semi-supervised K-means

Semi-supervised K-means extends standard K-means clustering by incorporating partial supervision — either a small set of labeled seed points or pairwise must-link and cannot-link constraints — to guide cluster formation. It bridges unsupervised clustering and fully supervised classification, enabling more meaningful clusters when labels are scarce but costly to obtain in full.
