**TLDR:** An advanced clustering method that detects clusters with varying density levels through a hierarchical density-based approach.

<p>HDBSCAN extends the DBSCAN approach to better handle clusters with different densities. It builds a hierarchical density structure and selects the most stable clusters from that hierarchy. This makes it especially effective in complex data spaces where the assumption of uniform density does not hold. Its ability to separate noise also makes it highly valuable in practical exploratory analysis.</p>
