Clustering by Pattern Similarity in Large Data Sets

Summary: pCluster: pattern-based similarity; clustering by coherent patterns on a subset of dimensions, not by value proximity. Applies to gene expression and collaborative filtering; shows an efficient algorithm with real and synthetic data demonstrations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
