Abstract
Techniques are disclosed that provide more accurate clustering of devices by forming clusters of devices and merging or changing clusters based on predetermined criteria. The technique starts with a large number of clusters (e.g., one for each account) and refines the clusters, for example, by merging clusters or determining which cluster a given device should be in when the device is associated with multiple clusters. One technique iteratively adjusts clusters of devices by merging clusters determined to be associated with a single user until a cluster contains all of the devices and accounts expected to be associated with a single user.
