And in fact that intuitive notion of what should be done is exactly what HDBSCAN does. Of course we need to formalise things to make it a concrete algorithm. First we need a different measure than distance to consider the persistence of clusters; instead we will use \lambda = \frac{1}{...
3. DBSCAN DBSCAN is a density-based algorithmpublished in 1996by Martin Ester, Hans-Peter Kriegel, Jörg Sander and Xiaowei Xu.Along with its hierarchical extensions HDBSCAN, it is still in use today because it is versatile and generates very high-quality clusters, all the points which don’...
How Does Query Expansion Work in Vector Databases? Query expansion in vector databases enhances search query effectiveness by incorporating additional relevant terms into a query, thus broadening the search's scope for more comprehensive data retrieval. This technique adjusts query vectors to capture ...
Self-adjusting (HDBSCAN) is the most data-driven of the clustering methods, and thus requires the least user input. Illustration of the hierarchical levels used by the HDBSCAN algorithm to find the optimal clusters to maximize stability For Multi-scale (OPTICS), the work of detecting clust...
(robustified) single linkage method applied on a version of the distance matrix that lessens the influence of potential outliers (where theminPtsparameter plays the role of a smoothing factor). HDBSCAN is, theoretically, capable of marking some points as noise, but it did not do so on our ...

does not itself have the minimum number of features within the search distance. Each resulting cluster is composed of core-points and border-points, where core-points tend to fall in the middle of the cluster and border-points fall on the exterior. If a point does not have the mi...

Even with our reproducible pipeline, in terms of ARI the Euclidean and hyperbolic metrics have identical performances, higher than the spherical one on three (DBSCAN, OPTICS, and agglomerative clustering) clustering algorithms out of four. Only with HDBSCAN does the Euclidean metric perform worse than...
