Top Down Clustering
Top Down clustering is a type of Hierarchical Clustering. Top Down Clustering is a technique of clustering which tries to find bigger clusters first and then doing fine grained clustering on these clusters. Hence the name Top Down.
Any algorithm can be used to perform the Top Level Clustering and the Bottom Level Clustering. So, all algorithms provided by Mahout, other than the MinHash Clustering algorithm ( which is a "Bottom Up" Clustering Algorithm ), can be used for Top Down Clustering, on both Top Level and Bottom Level.
