Higher order clustering coefficients $C(x)$ are introduced for random networks. The coefficients express probabilities that the shortest distance between any two nearest neighbours of a certain vertex $i$ equals $x$, when one neglects all…

We consider an infinite-dimensional stochastic clustering model on $\mathbb{R}$. In discrete time, each point of a unit-intensity simple point process moves halfway toward either of its left or right neighbors, chosen uniformly at random.…

Motivated by practical generalizations of the classic $k$-median and $k$-means objectives, such as clustering with size constraints, fair clustering, and Wasserstein barycenter, we introduce a meta-theorem for designing coresets for…

We consider a generalized version of the correlation clustering problem, defined as follows. Given a complete graph $G$ whose edges are labeled with $+$ or $-$, we wish to partition the graph into clusters while trying to avoid errors: $+$…

We consider the problem of clustering a set of high-dimensional data points into sets of low-dimensional linear subspaces. The number of subspaces, their dimensions, and their orientations are unknown. We propose a simple and low-complexity…

The (two) core of a hypergraph is the maximal collection of hyperedges within which no vertex appears only once. It is of importance in tasks such as efficiently solving a large linear system over GF[2], or iterative decoding of low-density…

The coexistence of sparsity and clustering (non-vanishing average fraction of triangles per node) is one of the few structural features that, irrespective of finer details, are ubiquitously observed across large real-world networks. This…

We provide the first coreset for clustering points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that have multiple missing values (coordinates). Previous coreset constructions only allow one missing coordinate. The challenge in this setting is that objective…

In a recent work, [19] studied the following "fair" variants of classical clustering problems such as $k$-means and $k$-median: given a set of $n$ data points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and a binary type associated to each data point, the goal is to…

In this paper, we consider a class of constrained clustering problems of points in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, where $d$ could be rather high. A common feature of these problems is that their optimal clusterings no longer have the locality property…

Given full or partial information about a collection of points that lie close to a union of several subspaces, subspace clustering refers to the process of clustering the points according to their subspace and identifying the subspaces. One…
