요약	HDBSCAN (Hierarchical Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) is a density-based clustering algorithm introduced by Campello, Moulavi, and Sander in 2013. It extends DBSCAN by building a full hierarchy of density-based clusters across all density scales and then extracting a stable flat partition, making it robust to datasets where cluster densities vary substantially across regions.	Online Gaussian Mixture Model adapts the classic GMM to streaming or large-scale data by replacing full-batch EM with incremental updates — processing one observation or mini-batch at a time and continuously refining component means, covariances, and mixing weights without revisiting the entire dataset.	Online K-means is a streaming variant of the classical K-means algorithm that updates cluster centroids one observation at a time — or in small mini-batches — without storing the entire dataset in memory. It is particularly suited to large-scale, real-time, or continuously arriving data where batch recomputation would be too slow or impractical.
