Producing good quality clustering of data streams in real time is a difficult problem, since it is necessary to perform the analysis of data points arriving in a continuous style, with the support of quite limited computational resources. The incremental and evolving nature of the resulting clustering structures must reflect the dynamics of the target data stream. The WiSARD weightless perceptron, and its associated DRASiW extension, are intrinsically capable of, respectively, performing
