Abstract
Semi-supervised clustering algorithms for general problems use a small amount of labeled instances or pairwise instance constraints to aid the unsupervised clustering. However, user supervision can also be provided in alternative forms for document clustering, such as labeling a feature by associating it with a document or a cluster. Besides labeled documents, this paper also explores labeled features to generate cluster seeds to seed the unsupervised clustering. In this paper, we present a unified framework in which one can use both labeled documents and features in terms of seeding clusters and refine this information using intermediate clusters. We introduce two methods of using labeled features to generate cluster seeds. Experimental results on several real-world data sets demonstrate that constraining the clustering by both documents and features seeding can significantly improve document clustering performance over random seeding and document only seeding. We also demonstrate that the clustering performance can be improved even with only a fraction of clusters being seeded compared to unsupervised clustering.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
