Today many data science works are utilizing high-dimensional neural embeddings. However, traditional density-based clustering techniques like DBSCAN have a degraded performance on high-dimensional data. In this paper, we propose LAF, a generic learned accelerator framework to speed up the original DBSCAN and the sampling-based variants of DBSCAN on high-dimensional data with angular distance metric. This framework consists of a learned cardinality estimator and a post-processing module. The cardinality estimator can fast predict whether a data point is core or not to skip unnecessary range queries, while the post-processing module detects the false negative predictions and merges the falsely separated clusters. The evaluation shows our LAF-enhanced DBSCAN method outperforms the state-of-the-art efficient DBSCAN variants on both efficiency and quality.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.03136v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.03136v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"learned-accelerator-framework-for-angular","repo_url":"https://github.com/wyfunique/laf-dbscan","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"clustering","task_name":"Clustering"},{"task_slug":"high","task_name":"Vocal Bursts Intensity Prediction"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"speed","method_name":"SPEED"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
