Explainable cluster analysis: a bagging approach

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2603.19840v1 Announce Type: cross A major limitation of clustering approaches is their lack of explainability: methods rarely provide insight into which features drive the grouping of similar observations. To address this limitation, we propose an ensemble-based clustering framework that integrates bagging and feature dropout to generate feature importance scores, in analogy with feature importance mechanisms in supervised random forests.
