Clustering of synthetic data to illustrate the capability of soft-constraint affinity propagation (SCAP) in capturing two levels of clustering. SCAP identifies 12 exemplars shown as circles and therefore 12 sub-clusters as well as their preferred grouping in three global clusters. Arrows indicate the affinity between exemplars at the top-level of the nested hierarchy, sub-clusters are color-coded.
