[...] l'algorithme BIRCH [...] a été développé pour permettre le traitement de grands volumes de données dans un espace mémoire restreint. Pour ce faire, BIRCH réduit la taille du jeu de données initial en le résumant sous la forme d'une structure hiérarchique [...] dans laquelle les points sont agrégés successivement en fonction de leur similarité et de l'espace mémoire disponible.

OBS

BIRCH : réduction itérative équilibrée et regroupement à l'aide de hiérarchies.
