A new paper explores the limitations of clustering algorithms, specifically addressing Kleinberg's Impossibility Theorem which states that no single partition can satisfy scale invariance, richness, and consistency. The research demonstrates that by shifting from flat partitions to hierarchical clustering, these axioms can be jointly satisfied. The paper introduces the concept of 'admissible' hierarchical clustering methods and shows that while there is significant diversity among them, they all share a common backbone of well-separated clusters.
