Specific data compression techniques, formalized by the concept of coresets, proved to be powerful for many optimization problems. In fact, while tightly controlling the approximation error, coresets may lead to significant speed up of the…
We investigate coresets - succinct, small summaries of large data sets - so that solutions found on the summary are provably competitive with solution found on the full data set. We provide an overview over the state-of-the-art in coreset…
A coreset (or core-set) of an input set is its small summation, such that solving a problem on the coreset as its input, provably yields the same result as solving the same problem on the original (full) set, for a given family of problems…
We obtain the first strong coresets for the $k$-median and subspace approximation problems with sum of distances objective function, on $n$ points in $d$ dimensions, with a number of weighted points that is independent of both $n$ and $d$;…
A coreset is a point set containing information about geometric properties of a larger point set. A series of previous works show that in many machine learning problems, especially in clustering problems, coreset could be very useful to…
We initiate the study of coresets for clustering in graph metrics, i.e., the shortest-path metric of edge-weighted graphs. Such clustering problems are essential to data analysis and used for example in road networks and data visualization.…
Scaling clustering algorithms to massive data sets is a challenging task. Recently, several successful approaches based on data summarization methods, such as coresets and sketches, were proposed. While these techniques provide provably…

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…
This paper considers coresets for the robust $k$-medians problem with $m$ outliers, and new constructions in various metric spaces are obtained. Specifically, for metric spaces with a bounded VC or doubling dimension $d$, the coreset size…
We consider robust clustering problems in $\mathbb{R}^d$, specifically $k$-clustering problems (e.g., $k$-Median and $k$-Means with $m$ outliers, where the cost for a given center set $C \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ aggregates the distances from…
An $\varepsilon$-coreset for a given set $D$ of $n$ points, is usually a small weighted set, such that querying the coreset \emph{provably} yields a $(1+\varepsilon)$-factor approximation to the original (full) dataset, for a given family…
Given a set of $n$ points in $d$ dimensions, the Euclidean $k$-means problem (resp. the Euclidean $k$-median problem) consists of finding $k$ centers such that the sum of squared distances (resp. sum of distances) from every point to its…
The fuzzy $K$-means problem is a popular generalization of the well-known $K$-means problem to soft clusterings. We present the first coresets for fuzzy $K$-means with size linear in the dimension, polynomial in the number of clusters, and…
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.…
Coresets are modern data-reduction tools that are widely used in data analysis to improve efficiency in terms of running time, space and communication complexity. Our main result is a fast algorithm to construct a small coreset for k-Median…

A coreset (or core-set) of a dataset is its semantic compression with respect to a set of queries, such that querying the (small) coreset provably yields an approximate answer to querying the original (full) dataset. In the last decade,…
Coresets have become an invaluable tool for solving $k$-means and kernel $k$-means clustering problems on large datasets with small numbers of clusters. On the other hand, spectral clustering works well on sparse graphs and has recently…
A coreset is a small set that can approximately preserve the structure of the original input data set. Therefore we can run our algorithm on a coreset so as to reduce the total computational complexity. Conventional coreset techniques…
