Automatic Subspace Clustering of High Dimensional Data for Data Mining Applications
Summary: CLIQUE discovers dense subspace clusters in high dimensions, identifying subspaces of maximum dimensionality. It outputs compact DNF cluster descriptions, is order-insensitive, distribution-agnostic, and scales to large datasets.
