We devise $\epsilon$-coresets for robust $(k,z)$-Clustering with $m$ outliers through black-box reductions to vanilla case. Given an $\epsilon$-coreset construction for vanilla clustering with size $N$, we construct coresets of size $N\cdot…

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…
