We introduce the $(p,q)$-Fair Clustering problem. In this problem, we are given a set of points $P$ and a collection of different weight functions $W$. We would like to find a clustering which minimizes the $\ell_q$-norm of the vector over…
Clustering is a popular form of unsupervised learning for geometric data. Unfortunately, many clustering algorithms lead to cluster assignments that are hard to explain, partially because they depend on all the features of the data in a…
In this paper, we present a novel method for constrained cluster size signed spectral clustering which allows us to subdivide large groups of people based on their relationships. In general, signed clustering only requires K hard clusters…
Constrained clustering allows the training of classification models using pairwise constraints only, which are weak and relatively easy to mine, while still yielding full-supervision-level model performance. While they perform well even in…
Clustering, or grouping, dataset elements based on similarity can be used not only to classify a dataset into a few categories, but also to approximate it by a relatively large number of representative elements. In the latter scenario,…
This work initiates the study of memory-query tradeoffs for graph problems, with a focus on correlation clustering. Correlation clustering asks for a partition of the vertices that minimizes disagreements: non-edges inside clusters plus…
The $(k, z)$-Clustering problem in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ has been extensively studied. Given the scale of data involved, compression methods for the Euclidean $(k, z)$-Clustering problem, such as data compression and dimension…
Pseudo-Centroid Clustering replaces the traditional concept of a centroid expressed as a center of gravity with the notion of a pseudo-centroid (or a coordinate free centroid) which has the advantage of applying to clustering problems where…
Constructing new and more challenging tasksets is a fruitful methodology to analyse and understand few-shot classification methods. Unfortunately, existing approaches to building those tasksets are somewhat unsatisfactory: they either…
Several factors make clustering of functional data challenging, including the infinite-dimensional space to which observations belong and the lack of a defined probability density function for the functional random variable. To overcome…
In Correlation Clustering, the input is a graph $G=(V,E)$ with weight function $\omega: {V \choose 2}\to Z$ and the task is to partition the vertex set into clusters such that the total weight of edges between clusters and missing edges…
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…
In this contribution, the clustering procedure based on K-Means algorithm is studied as an inverse problem, which is a special case of the illposed problems. The attempts to improve the quality of the clustering inverse problem drive to…
Clustering is a fundamental unsupervised learning task with applications across a wide range of domains. Popular algorithms such as $k$-means are efficient and widely used, but can be sensitive to outliers, ambiguous boundary points, and…
We initiate the study of the following general clustering problem. We seek to partition a given set $P$ of data points into $k$ clusters by finding a set $X$ of $k$ centers and assigning each data point to one of the centers. The cost of a…
The faint radio point sources that are unresolved in cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy maps are likely to be a biased tracer of the large-scale structure dark matter distribution. While the shot-noise contribution to the angular…
We prove polynomial-time solvability of a large class of clustering problems where a weighted set of items has to be partitioned into clusters with respect to some balancing constraints. The data points are weighted with respect to…
We present a novel analysis for cluster cosmology that fully forward models the abundances, weak lensing, and the clustering of galaxy clusters. Our analysis notably includes an empirical model for the anisotropic boosts impacting the…

Clustering is a fundamental primitive in unsupervised learning. However, classical algorithms for $k$-clustering (such as $k$-median and $k$-means) assume access to exact pairwise distances -- an unrealistic requirement in many modern…
