Scalable Uncertainty Quantification for Black-Box Density-Based Clustering

arXiv:2603.03188v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We introduce a novel framework for uncertainty quantification in clustering. By combining the martingale posterior paradigm with density-based clustering, uncertainty in the estimated density is naturally propagated to the clustering structure. The approach scales effectively to high-dimensional and irregularly shaped data by leveraging modern neural density estimators and GPU-friendly parallel computation. We establish frequentist consistency guarantees and validate the methodology on synthetic and real data.
