Recall, though, that better data often beats better algorithms, and designing good features goes a long way. And if you have a huge dataset, your choice of classification algorithm might not really matter so much in terms of classification performance (so choose your algorithm based on speed or...
a given set of resources (memory and time constraints). In most cases, Birch only requires a single scan of the database. In addition, Birch is accepted as the, "first clustering algorithm proposed in the database area to handle 'noise' (data points that are not part of the underlying ...
