Samenvatting	Ensemble K-means runs K-means clustering many times under varied initializations, random seeds, or feature subsets, then aggregates the resulting partitions into a single consensus assignment. This approach reduces K-means' well-known sensitivity to initialization and produces more stable, reproducible clusters than any single run.	Semi-supervised HDBSCAN extends the Hierarchical Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (HDBSCAN) algorithm by incorporating partial supervision — such as must-link and cannot-link pairwise constraints or a small set of labeled examples — to guide the density-based cluster hierarchy toward cluster assignments that are consistent with available domain knowledge.
