We present data streaming algorithms for the $k$-median problem in high-dimensional dynamic geometric data streams, i.e. streams allowing both insertions and deletions of points from a discrete Euclidean space $\{1, 2, \ldots \Delta\}^d$.…
We study a variant of classical clustering formulations in the context of algorithmic fairness, known as diversity-aware clustering. In this variant we are given a collection of facility subsets, and a solution must contain at least a…
We study fair clustering problems in a setting where distance information is obtained from two sources: a strong oracle providing exact distances, but at a high cost, and a weak oracle providing potentially inaccurate distance estimates at…
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…

Center-based clustering is a pivotal primitive for unsupervised learning and data analysis. A popular variant is undoubtedly the k-means problem, which, given a set $P$ of points from a metric space and a parameter $k<|P|$, requires to…
In the Priority $k$-Center problem, the input consists of a metric space $(X,d)$, an integer $k$, and for each point $v \in X$ a priority radius $r(v)$. The goal is to choose $k$-centers $S \subseteq X$ to minimize $\max_{v \in X}…
Given a dataset $V$ of points from some metric space, the popular $k$-center problem requires to identify a subset of $k$ points (centers) in $V$ minimizing the maximum distance of any point of $V$ from its closest center. The \emph{robust}…

Data analysis often involves an iterative process, where solutions must be continuously refined in response to new data. Typically, as new data becomes available, an existing solution must be updated to incorporate the latest information.…

Center-based clustering (e.g., $k$-means, $k$-medians) and clustering using linear subspaces are two most popular techniques to partition real-world data into smaller clusters. However, when the data consists of sensitive demographic…
Data summarization tasks are often modeled as $k$-clustering problems, where the goal is to choose $k$ data points, called cluster centers, that best represent the dataset by minimizing a clustering objective. A popular objective is to…
The fair $k$-median problem is one of the important clustering problems. The current best approximation ratio is 4.675 for this problem with 1-fair violation, which was proposed by Bercea et al. [APPROX-RANDOM'2019]. As far as we know,…
