Abstract
Clusters generated by a first clustering process are received, each cluster including one or more related records. A second clustering process is applied to the received clusters. Received clusters generated by the first clustering process are compared with results of the second clustering process. Information is output based on the comparison for evaluating the first clustering process. A tendency of the first clustering process to duplicate a record associated with a single entity in multiple clusters can be determined. A tendency of the first clustering process to cluster records associated with different entities in a single cluster can be determined.
