Automatic depth-based local center clustering via $β$-integrated local depth and adaptive grouping

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 22, 2026 · UTC

Clustering is an unsupervised learning technique that partitions unlabeled data into groups. Most existing methods require user-specified parameters, such as the number of clusters or neighborhood size. Conversely, we propose automatic depth-based local center clustering (A-DLCC), a fully data-driven method that eliminates numerical parameter tuning. A-DLCC uses the $β$-integrated local depth to identify stable exemplars, points consistently central across multiple locality levels, termed local centers, which are ranked by their representativeness. Each local center induces a group of similar
