Conceptual clustering is a machine learning paradigm for unsupervised classification developed mainly during the 1980s. It is distinguished from ordinary data clustering by generating a concept description for each generated class.
COBWEB is an incremental conceptual clustering system. It incrementally adds the objects into a classification tree. The attractive feature of incremental systems is that the knowledge is updated with each new observation.

Numerical, statistical, and conceptual clustering. Agglomerative vs. divisive. Overlapping vs. disjoint clusters.
Another kind of clustering is conceptual clustering: two or more objects belong to the same cluster if this one defines a concept common to all that objects.
