Fast sparse representative tree splitting via local density for large-scale clustering by Renmin Wang, Jie Li

“…This paper proposes a novel large-scale clustering framework with three key innovations: (1) Parameter-free cluster discovery: unlike conventional methods requiring predefined cluster numbers, our algorithm autonomously identifies natural cluster structures through dynamic density-based splitting decisions. (2) Hybrid sampling-partitioning strategy: by integrating randomized sampling with K-means-based partitioning, we extract high-quality representative points that preserve data integrity with linear computational complexity. (3) Local density-driven MST segmentation: A minimum spanning tree (MST) constructed from representatives is adaptively partitioned using a local density criterion, which dynamically disconnects weakly associated edges by comparing density peaks between adjacent representative points. …”
