Random restart of a given algorithm produces many partitions to yield a consensus clustering. Ensemble methods such as consensus clustering have been recognized as more robust approaches for data clustering than single clustering…

When faced with a data set too large to be processed all at once, an obvious solution is to retain only part of it. In practice this takes a wide variety of different forms, and among them "coresets" are especially appealing. A coreset is a…
