		| Abstract: | 
		In this paper we present the Clustering-Labels-Score Patterns Spotter (CLaSPS), a new 
 methodology for the determination of correlations among astronomical observables in 
 complex datasets, based on the application of distinct unsupervised clustering techniques 
 and the use of additional information for the selection of the optimal spontaneous associations
 of sources in the original feature space. The novelty in this approach is the criterion 
 followed for the selection of the optimal clusterings, based on a quantitative measure of the 
 degree of correlation between the features used for the determination of the clusters 
 and a set of observables, the labels, not employed for the clustering. |
