A new benchmark called CLUBench has been developed to evaluate clustering algorithms across various data types, including tabular, text, and image data. The benchmark comprises 24 algorithms and 131 datasets, involving over 178,000 experiments. Initial findings indicate that deep clustering methods do not significantly outperform conventional algorithms like KMeans, and that combining pretrained embeddings with traditional methods is effective for image and text clustering. The research also suggests that clustering remains a complex problem, even with the rise of foundation models, and proposes using low-rank structures in performance matrices for efficient evaluation and model selection.
