On the Effects of Constraints in Semi-supervised Hierarchical Clustering

We explore the use of constraints with divisive hierarchical clustering. We mention some considerations on the effects of the inclusion of constraints into the hierarchical clustering process. Furthermore, we introduce an implementation of a semi-supervised divisive hierarchical clustering algorithm and show the influence of including constraints into the divisive hierarchical clustering process. In this task our main interest lies in building stable dendrograms when clustering with different subsets of data.
