    • Cluster quality is evaluated by three metrics, purity [14], F-score [10], and normalized mutual information (NMI) [15]. Purity assumes that all samples of a cluster are predicted to be members of the actual dominant class for that cluster. … A merit of NMI is that it does not necessarily increase when the number of clusters increases. All the three metrics range from 0 to 1, and the higher their value, the better the clustering quality is.
