Tóm tắt	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 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.
