The problem of constrained $k$-center clustering has attracted significant attention in the past decades. In this paper, we study balanced $k$-center cluster where the size of each cluster is constrained by the given lower and upper bounds.…

We study two-stage robust optimization problems with mixed discrete-continuous decisions in both stages. Despite their broad range of applications, these problems pose two fundamental challenges: (i) they constitute infinite-dimensional…

In general dimension, there is no known total polynomial algorithm for either convex hull or vertex enumeration, i.e. an algorithm whose complexity depends polynomially on the input and output sizes. It is thus important to identify…

Massive amount of data that are geo-tagged and associated with text information are being generated at an unprecedented scale in many emerging applications such as location based services and social networks. Due to their importance, a…

Let $B$ be a set of $n$ axis-parallel boxes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that each box has a corner at the origin and the other corner in the positive quadrant of $\mathbb{R}^d$, and let $k$ be a positive integer. We study the problem of…

We study colored coverage and clustering problems. Here, we are given a colored point set where the points are covered by (unknown) $k$ clusters, which are monochromatic (i.e., all the points covered by the same cluster, have the same…

We consider the problem of reconstructing a rank-one matrix from a revealed subset of its entries when some of the revealed entries are corrupted with perturbations that are unknown and can be arbitrarily large. It is not known which…

We show how full-text search based on inverted indices can be accelerated by clustering the documents without losing results (SeCluD -- SEarch with CLUstered Documents). We develop a fast multilevel clustering algorithm that explicitly uses…

We investigate a weighted variant of the interval stabbing problem, where the goal is to design an efficient data structure for a given set $\mathcal{I}$ of weighted intervals such that, for a query point $q$ and an integer $k>0$, we can…

We consider the sorted top-$k$ problem whose goal is to recover the top-$k$ items with the correct order out of $n$ items using pairwise comparisons. In many applications, multiple rounds of interaction can be costly. We restrict our…

Motivated by polymer-based data-storage platforms that use chains of binary synthetic polymers as the recording media and read the content via tandem mass spectrometers, we propose a new family of codes that allows for unique string…

Among many existing algorithms, convergence methods are the most popular means of computing square root and the reciprocal of square root of numbers. An initial approximation is required in these methods. Look up tables (LUT) are employed…

Indexing data is a fundamental problem in computer science. Recently, various papers apply machine learning to this problem. For a fixed integer $\varepsilon$, a \emph{learned index} is a function $h : \mathcal{U} \rightarrow [0, n]$ where…

$\renewcommand{\Re}{{\rm I\!\hspace{-0.025em} R}} \newcommand{\eps}{{\varepsilon}} \newcommand{\Coreset}{{\mathcal{S}}} $ In this paper, we show the existence of small coresets for the problems of computing $k$-median and $k$-means…

Motivated by polymer-based data-storage platforms that use chains of binary synthetic polymers as the recording media and read the content via tandem mass spectrometers, we propose a new family of codes that allows for both unique string…

The connected $k$-median problem is a constrained clustering problem that combines distance-based $k$-clustering with connectivity information. The problem allows to input a metric space and an unweighted undirected connectivity graph that…

Given a conjunctive query and a database instance, we aim to develop an index that can efficiently answer spatial queries on the results of a conjunctive query. We are interested in some commonly used spatial queries, such as range…

Learned index structures have been shown to achieve favorable lookup performance and space consumption compared to their traditional counterparts such as B-trees. However, most learned index studies have focused on the primary indexing…

We introduce a new variant of the $k$-deck problem, which in its traditional formulation asks for determining the smallest $k$ that allows one to reconstruct any binary sequence of length $n$ from the multiset of its $k$-length…

Compression of inverted lists with methods that support fast intersection operations is an active research topic. Most compression schemes rely on encoding differences between consecutive positions with techniques that favor small numbers.…
