We consider the $k$-means clustering problem in the dynamic streaming setting, where points from a discrete Euclidean space $\{1, 2, \ldots, \Delta\}^d$ can be dynamically inserted to or deleted from the dataset. For this problem, we…

Given a data set of size $n$ in $d'$-dimensional Euclidean space, the $k$-means problem asks for a set of $k$ points (called centers) so that the sum of the $\ell_2^2$-distances between points of a given data set of size $n$ and the set of…

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 $\{1, 2, \ldots \Delta\}^d$.…

Clustering problems (such as $k$-means and $k$-median) are fundamental unsupervised machine learning primitives, and streaming clustering algorithms have been extensively studied in the past. However, since data privacy becomes a central…

We give algorithms for computing coresets for $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximate $k$-median clustering of polygonal curves (under the discrete and continuous Fr\'{e}chet distance) and point sets (under the Hausdorff distance), when the cluster…

We consider coresets for $k$-clustering problems, where the goal is to assign points to centers minimizing powers of distances. A popular example is the $k$-median objective $\sum_{p}\min_{c\in C}dist(p,C)$. Given a point set $P$, a coreset…

Coresets are arguably the most popular compression paradigm for center-based clustering objectives such as $k$-means. Given a point set $P$, a coreset $\Omega$ is a small, weighted summary that preserves the cost of all candidate solutions…

We study the task of differentially private clustering. For several basic clustering problems, including Euclidean DensestBall, 1-Cluster, k-means, and k-median, we give efficient differentially private algorithms that achieve essentially…

The k-means problem consists of finding k centers in the d-dimensional Euclidean space that minimize the sum of the squared distances of all points in an input set P to their closest respective center. Awasthi et. al. recently showed that…

In this work, we study the $k$-means cost function. Given a dataset $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ and an integer $k$, the goal of the Euclidean $k$-means problem is to find a set of $k$ centers $C \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ such that $\Phi(C, X)…

A set of points $P$ in a metric space and a constant integer $k$ are given. The $k$-center problem finds $k$ points as centers among $P$, such that the maximum distance of any point of $P$ to their closest centers $(r)$ is minimized.…
