Hierarchical Clustering Lab

Unsupervised Learning

Hierarchical Clustering Lab

Linkage choices, dendrograms, and multiscale structure.

What This Shows

Explore how hierarchical clustering builds structure from pairwise distances and linkage rules. The applet is useful for understanding why clustering is not one result but a modeling decision that depends on scale, distance, noise, and the structure one wants to preserve.

Clustering Linkage methods Dendrograms Distance metrics Pattern discovery

Technical Challenge

Identifying structure across scales without imposing a fixed number of groups too early.

My Contribution

Built an interactive clustering view that connects local distances to global grouping decisions.

Industry Transfer

Customer segmentation, document clustering, taxonomy design, operations analytics.

Connected Work

Cosmic void detection and large-scale spatial structure analysis.
