A \emph{strong coreset} for the mean queries of a set $P$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$ is a small weighted subset $C\subseteq P$, which provably approximates its sum of squared distances to any center (point) $x\in {\mathbb{R}}^d$. A \emph{weak…

Coreset is usually a small weighted subset of $n$ input points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, that provably approximates their loss function for a given set of queries (models, classifiers, etc.). Coresets become increasingly common in machine learning…
