The density-based clustering algorithm is a fundamental data clustering technique with many real-world applications. However, when the database is frequently changed, how to effectively update clustering results rather than reclustering from scratch remains a challenging task. In this work, we introduce IncAnyDBC, a unique parallel incremental data clustering approach to deal with this problem.
