Torque Clustering can efficiently and autonomously analyse vast amounts of data in fields such as biology, chemistry, astronomy, psychology, finance and medicine, revealing new insights such as detecting disease patterns, uncovering fraud, or understanding behaviour.

A paper detailing the method, Autonomous clustering by fast find of mass and distance peaks, has been published in IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, a leading journal in the field of artificial intelligence.

It’s been rigorously tested on 1,000 diverse datasets, achieving an average adjusted mutual information score – a measure of clustering results – of 97.7%. In comparison, other state-of-the-art methods only achieve scores in the eighty percentil range.

Torque Clustering could support the development of general artificial intelligence, particularly in robotics and autonomous systems, by helping to optimise movement, control and decision-making. It’s set to redefine the landscape of unsupervised learning, paving the way for truly autonomous AI. The open-source code has been made available to researchers.
