This paper studies the large-scale subspace clustering (LSSC) problem with million data points. Many popular subspace clustering methods cannot directly handle the LSSC problem although they have been considered as state-of-the-art methods…

This paper introduces a novel formulation of the clustering problem, namely the Minimum Sum-of-Squares Clustering of Infinitely Tall Data (MSSC-ITD), and presents HPClust, an innovative set of hybrid parallel approaches for its effective…

Sparse subspace clustering (SSC) is one of the current state-of-the-art methods for partitioning data points into the union of subspaces, with strong theoretical guarantees. However, it is not practical for large data sets as it requires…

A main characteristic of crowdsourcing software development (CSD) is the complexity of tasks and skills required by workers to achieve successful software crowdsourcing. The tasks proposed to the crowd in CSD are checked to ensure they are…

Crowdsourcing enables the fine-grained characterization and performance evaluation of today's large-scale networks using the power of the masses and distributed intelligence. This paper presents SmartProbe, a system that assesses the…

As the number of vehicles continues to grow, parking spaces are at a premium in city streets. Additionally, due to the lack of knowledge about street parking spaces, heuristic circling the blocks not only costs drivers' time and fuel, but…

Crowdsourcing provides a popular paradigm for data collection at scale. We study the problem of selecting subsets of workers from a given worker pool to maximize the accuracy under a budget constraint. One natural question is whether we…

Subspace clustering refers to the problem of clustering high-dimensional data into a union of low-dimensional subspaces. Current subspace clustering approaches are usually based on a two-stage framework. In the first stage, an affinity…
