Accelerated Hierarchical Density Clustering

Understand

We present an accelerated algorithm for hierarchical density based clustering.

• Our new algorithm improves upon HDBSCAN*, which itself provided a significant qualitative improvement over the popular DBSCAN algorithm.
• The accelerated HDBSCAN* algorithm provides comparable performance to DBSCAN, while supporting variable density clusters, and eliminating the need for the difficult to tune distance scale parameter.
• This makes accelerated HDBSCAN* the default choice for density based clustering.
