Meila (2018) introduces an optimization based method called the Sublevel Set method, to guarantee that a clustering is nearly optimal and "approximately correct" without relying on any assumptions about the distribution that generated the data. This paper extends the Sublevel Set method to the cost-based hierarchical clustering paradigm proposed by Dasgupta (2016).
