Abstract:
1. A system for large-scale, incremental clustering comprising: a plurality of processing nodes, each comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a plurality of clusters of feature vectors and machine executable instructions for determining a plurality of values for a distance metric relating each of the plurality of clusters to an input feature vector and selecting a cluster having a best value for the distance metric; an arbitrator configured to: a multiplexer configured to receive the winning cluster from the arbitrator and provide the winning cluster and a new input feature vector to each of the plurality of processing nodes, wherein the winning cluster is associated with a given processing node of the plurality of processing nodes, the given processing node being configured to associate the input feature vector with the winning cluster and each other processing node of the plurality of processing nodes is instructed to delete the input feature vector.
