Clustering is the task of partitioning a given set of geometric objects. This is thoroughly studied when the objects are points in the euclidean space. There are also several approaches for points in general metric spaces. In this thesis we…
In 2015, Driemel, Krivo\v{s}ija and Sohler introduced the $(k,\ell)$-median problem for clustering polygonal curves under the Fr\'echet distance. Given a set of input curves, the problem asks to find $k$ median curves of at most $\ell$…
We give algorithms for computing coresets for $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximate $k$-median clustering of polygonal curves (under the discrete and continuous Fr\'{e}chet distance) and point sets (under the Hausdorff distance), when the cluster…

We consider coresets for $k$-clustering problems, where the goal is to assign points to centers minimizing powers of distances. A popular example is the $k$-median objective $\sum_{p}\min_{c\in C}dist(p,C)$. Given a point set $P$, a coreset…

We study subtrajectory clustering under the Fr\'echet distance. Given one or more trajectories, the task is to split the trajectories into several parts, such that the parts have a good clustering structure. We approach this problem via a…

We present algorithms for the computation of $\varepsilon$-coresets for $k$-median clustering of point sequences in $\mathbb{R}^d$ under the $p$-dynamic time warping (DTW) distance. Coresets under DTW have not been investigated before, and…
We study the $k$-median clustering problem for high-dimensional polygonal curves with finite but unbounded number of vertices. We tackle the computational issue that arises from the high number of dimensions by defining a…
Given a collection of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, the goal of the $(k,z)$-clustering problem is to find a subset of $k$ "centers" that minimizes the sum of the $z$-th powers of the Euclidean distance of each point to the closest center.…
We devise coresets for kernel $k$-Means with a general kernel, and use them to obtain new, more efficient, algorithms. Kernel $k$-Means has superior clustering capability compared to classical $k$-Means, particularly when clusters are…
We consider the problem of constructing small coresets for $k$-Median in Euclidean spaces. Given a large set of data points $P\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, a coreset is a much smaller set $S\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, so that the $k$-Median costs of…
The $k$-median and $k$-means clustering objectives are classic objectives for modeling clustering in a metric space. Given a set of points in a metric space, the goal of the $k$-median (resp. $k$-means) problem is to find $k$ representative…
A time series of complexity $m$ is a sequence of $m$ real valued measurements. The discrete Fr\'echet distance $d_{dF}(x,y)$ is a distance measure between two time series $x$ and $y$ of possibly different complexity. Given a set of $n$ time…
In a recent work, [19] studied the following "fair" variants of classical clustering problems such as $k$-means and $k$-median: given a set of $n$ data points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and a binary type associated to each data point, the goal is to…
