Described are techniques for clustering a data set of objects. Divide phase processing is performed to partition the data set into two or more partitions forming a hierarchy of the objects. Merge phase processing may be performing using the hierarchy to determine one or more disjoint clusters of objects of the data set. Optional preprocessing may be performed to determine weights for one or more features of an object.
