Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for controlling access to a location, comprising receiving an access identifier and a biometric information sample from a user attempting to enter an access point. The implementations further include matching the access identifier to an authenticated cluster identifier corresponding to a biometric information cluster within a plurality of different biometric information clusters, wherein the biometric information cluster is associated with an authenticated user. Additionally, the implementations further include identifying, based on a machine learning model processing, a cluster identifier from the biometric information sample.
