A prominent Artificial Intelligence research area is automatic programming -- the generation of a computer program by another computer program. We propose the use of Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDA) for the artificial generation of density-based clustering algorithms -- a class of data mining algorithms. Preliminary experimental results compare the clustering algorithms artificially generated by AutoClustering to DBSCAN, a well-known manually-designed algorithm.
