Claim 0:
1. A method executed by one or more computing devices for efficiently classifying a data object of unknown type, the method comprising:
representing the data object as a data object vector in a vector space, each dimension of the data object vector corresponding to a different feature of the data object;
determining a distance between the data object vector and each of a plurality of centroids of a plurality of data domain clusters in the vector space, each data domain cluster comprising a plurality of data domain vectors representing a plurality of data domains, wherein each data domain vector comprises a multidimensional vector reflecting a plurality of feature values of a plurality of features of a data domain model corresponding to a data domain represented by the data domain vector;
sorting the plurality of data domain clusters according to respective distances of the plurality of data domain clusters to the data object vector; and
iteratively applying one or more data domain classifiers corresponding to one or more data domains represented in a closest data domain cluster in the plurality of sorted data domain clusters to the data object.
