Existing data clustering methods do not adequately address the problem of processing large datasets with a limited amount of resources (i.e. memory and cpu cycles). In consequence, as the dataset size increases, they scale poorly in terms of running time, and result quality. At a high level, Balanced Iterative Reducing and Clustering using Hierarchies, or BIRCH for short, deals with large datasets by first…
