In the classic $k$-center problem, we are given a metric graph, and the objective is to open $k$ nodes as centers such that the maximum distance from any vertex to its closest center is minimized. In this paper, we consider two important…

Recent progress in (semi-)streaming algorithms for monotone submodular function maximization has led to tight results for a simple cardinality constraint. However, current techniques fail to give a similar understanding for natural…

Clustering of data points in metric space is among the most fundamental problems in computer science with plenty of applications in data mining, information retrieval and machine learning. Due to the necessity of clustering of large…
Center-based clustering techniques are fundamental in some areas of machine learning such as data summarization. Generic $k$-center algorithms can produce biased cluster representatives so there has been a recent interest in fair $k$-center…
We present data streaming algorithms for the $k$-median problem in high-dimensional dynamic geometric data streams, i.e. streams allowing both insertions and deletions of points from a discrete Euclidean space $\{1, 2, \ldots \Delta\}^d$.…
The $k$-center problem for a point set~$P$ asks for a collection of $k$ congruent balls (that is, balls of equal radius) that together cover all the points in $P$ and whose radius is minimized. The $k$-center problem with outliers is…
We consider the classic Euclidean $k$-median and $k$-means objective on data streams, where the goal is to provide a $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation to the optimal $k$-median or $k$-means solution, while using as little memory as possible.…

We generalise the results of Bhattacharya et al. (Journal of Computing Systems, 62(1):93-115, 2018) for the list-$k$-means problem defined as -- for a (unknown) partition $X_1, ..., X_k$ of the dataset $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, find a…
We study the problem of fairness in k-centers clustering on data with disjoint demographic groups. Specifically, this work proposes a variant of fairness which restricts each group's number of centers with both a lower bound…
In the matroid secretary problem, the elements of a matroid $\mathcal{M}$ arrive in random order. Once we observe an item we need to irrevocably decide whether or not to accept it. The set of selected elements should form an independent set…
We consider maximizing a monotone submodular function under a cardinality constraint or a knapsack constraint in the streaming setting. In particular, the elements arrive sequentially and at any point of time, the algorithm has access to…
Given a convex polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices, the two-center problem is to find two congruent closed disks of minimum radius such that they completely cover $P$. We propose an algorithm for this problem in the streaming setup, where the…
