New paper recommends Centroid Index for clustering evaluation

A new paper published on arXiv proposes the Centroid Index (CI) as a recommended method for evaluating clustering when ground truth data is available. The paper reviews common external validity indexes, particularly those based on set-matching measures. For more granular, point-level evaluation, the Pair-set index (PSI) is suggested for its normalized score that is not influenced by cluster sizes. If equal weighting of all points is desired, clustering accuracy (ACC) or similar set-matching measures are deemed suitable. AI

IMPACT Provides new evaluation metrics for clustering algorithms, potentially improving the development and assessment of AI models that rely on clustering.
