Detection of change-points in a sequence of high-dimensional observations is a very challenging problem, and this becomes even more challenging when the sample size (i.e., the sequence length) is small. In this article, we propose some…

Fix $p>2$. We prove that the Euclidean distortion of every $n$-point subset of $L_p$ is $p^3(\log n)^{\frac12+o(1)}$, thus, in particular, demonstrating that all $n$-point subsets of $L_p$ exhibit an asymptotic improvement over the $O(\log…

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…
