Semi-supervised DBSCAN

Semi-supervised DBSCAN extends the canonical density-based clustering algorithm (Ester et al., 1996) by incorporating a small set of pairwise or label constraints — must-link pairs that must share a cluster, cannot-link pairs that must be separated, or a handful of known labels — to guide cluster formation while retaining DBSCAN's ability to discover arbitrary-shaped clusters and flag noise points.
