Abstract: A cluster generation system identifies data elements, from a first binary record, that each have a particular value and correspond to respective binary traits. A candidate description function describing the binary traits is generated, the candidate description function including a model factor that describes the data elements.

The candidate description function is also modified to include a correction factor describing an additional binary trait excluded from the respective binary traits. Based on the modified candidate description function, the cluster generation system generates a data summary cluster, which includes a compact representation of the binary traits of the data elements and additional data elements.
