[scikit-learn] Can I evaluate clustering efficiency incrementally?

[Uri Goren]

I usually use clustering to save costs on labelling.
I like to apply hierarchical clustering, and then label a small sample and
fine-tune the clustering algorithm.

That way, you can evaluate the effectiveness in terms of cluster purity
(how many clusters contain mixed labels)

See example with sklearn here :
