We already knew that calculating the arithmetic average of all embeddings belonging to one clusters isn't ideal. Now, we are calculating the medoid instead of the arithmetic average. We expect that the medoid should be much less sensitive on outliers, plus the medoid is always on the surface of the hyper sphere.
scipy.cdist is actually quite fast. In case of more then 50k samples per cluster we take a random sample of 50k and calculate the medoid based on the sub-sample
Needs some checks by @GavinR1 ...
