We study efficient algorithms for the Euclidean $k$-Center problem, focusing on the regime of large $k$. We take the approach of data reduction by considering $\alpha$-coreset, which is a small subset $S$ of the dataset $P$ such that any…
We consider the problem of testing graph cluster structure: given access to a graph $G=(V, E)$, can we quickly determine whether the graph can be partitioned into a few clusters with good inner conductance, or is far from any such graph?…
We present methods for k-means clustering on a stream with a focus on providing fast responses to clustering queries. Compared to the current state-of-the-art, our methods provide substantial improvement in the query time for cluster…

Coresets are one of the central methods to facilitate the analysis of large data sets. We continue a recent line of research applying the theory of coresets to logistic regression. First, we show a negative result, namely, that no strongly…

We develop a novel parallel decomposition strategy for unweighted, undirected graphs, based on growing disjoint connected clusters from batches of centers progressively selected from yet uncovered nodes. With respect to similar previous…
In this paper we study {\em terminal embeddings}, in which one is given a finite metric $(X,d_X)$ (or a graph $G=(V,E)$) and a subset $K \subseteq X$ of its points are designated as {\em terminals}. The objective is to embed the metric into…
In projective clustering we are given a set of n points in $R^d$ and wish to cluster them to a set $S$ of $k$ linear subspaces in $R^d$ according to some given distance function. An $\eps$-coreset for this problem is a weighted (scaled)…
Diversity maximization is a fundamental problem in web search and data mining. For a given dataset $S$ of $n$ elements, the problem requires to determine a subset of $S$ containing $k\ll n$ "representatives" which minimize some diversity…
Coreset selection compresses large datasets into compact, representative subsets, reducing the energy and computational burden of training deep neural networks. Existing methods are either: (i) DNN-based, which are tied to model-specific…
We investigate coresets - succinct, small summaries of large data sets - so that solutions found on the summary are provably competitive with solution found on the full data set. We provide an overview over the state-of-the-art in coreset…
We study the theoretical and practical runtime limits of k-means and k-median clustering on large datasets. Since effectively all clustering methods are slower than the time it takes to read the dataset, the fastest approach is to quickly…
In this paper, we first propose a new iterative algorithm, called the K-sets+ algorithm for clustering data points in a semi-metric space, where the distance measure does not necessarily satisfy the triangular inequality. We show that the…
We study the problem of constructing coresets for clustering problems with time series data. This problem has gained importance across many fields including biology, medicine, and economics due to the proliferation of sensors facilitating…
A coreset is a small set that can approximately preserve the structure of the original input data set. Therefore we can run our algorithm on a coreset so as to reduce the total computational complexity. Conventional coreset techniques…
In the \emph{monitoring} problem, the input is an unbounded stream $P={p_1,p_2\cdots}$ of integers in $[N]:=\{1,\cdots,N\}$, that are obtained from a sensor (such as GPS or heart beats of a human). The goal (e.g., for anomaly detection) is…
The well-known clustering algorithm of Miller, Peng, and Xu (SPAA 2013) is useful for many applications, including low-diameter decomposition and low-energy distributed algorithms. One nice property of their clustering, shown in previous…
