One of the most common solutions is the identification and representation of clusters. In this work, we propose a visual analytics clustering methodology for guiding the user in the exploration and detection of clusters in a dataset. We thereby combine the homological algebra with a graphical representation of the clustered dataset as a network into one coherent framework. Our approach entails displaying the results of the heuristics to users, providing a setting from which to start the exploration and data analysis.H.3.3 [Information Search and Retrieval]Clustering10.2312/eurp.2017116961-63
