We show how to construct in linear time coresets of constant size for farthest point problems in fixed-dimensional hyperbolic space. Our coresets provide both an arbitrarily small relative error and additive error $\varepsilon$. More…

With input sizes becoming massive, coresets -- small yet representative summary of the input -- are relevant more than ever. A weighted set $C_w$ that is a subset of the input is an $\varepsilon$-coreset if the cost of any feasible solution…

We consider the problem of estimating the Attention mechanism in small space, and prove the existence of coresets for it of nearly optimal size. Specifically, we show that for any set of unit-norm keys and values $(K,V)$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$,…

A coreset (or core-set) of a dataset is its semantic compression with respect to a set of queries, such that querying the (small) coreset provably yields an approximate answer to querying the original (full) dataset. In the last decade,…
