The problem of computing an exact experimental design that is optimal for the least-squares estimation of the parameters of a regression model is considered. We show that this problem can be solved via mixed-integer linear programming…

The minimum sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC), or k-means type clustering, has been recently extended to exploit prior knowledge on the cardinality of each cluster. Such knowledge is used to increase performance as well as solution quality.…

Outlier detection is a technique in data mining that aims to detect unusual or unexpected records in the dataset. Existing outlier detection algorithms have different pros and cons and exhibit different sensitivity to noisy data such as…

Clustering is a usual unsupervised machine learning technique for grouping the data points into groups based upon similar features. We focus here on unsupervised clustering for contaminated data, i.e in the case where K-medians should be…

$k$-means clustering is a well-studied problem due to its wide applicability. Unfortunately, there exist strong theoretical limits on the performance of any algorithm for the $k$-means problem on worst-case inputs. To overcome this barrier,…

Center-based clustering is a pivotal primitive for unsupervised learning and data analysis. A popular variant is undoubtedly the k-means problem, which, given a set $P$ of points from a metric space and a parameter $k<|P|$, requires to…

We consider the {\em clustering with diversity} problem: given a set of colored points in a metric space, partition them into clusters such that each cluster has at least $\ell$ points, all of which have distinct colors. We give a…

The $k$-Maximum Dispersion Problem with Cardinality Constraints ($k$-MDCC) asks for a partition of a given item set with pairwise dissimilarities into $k$ cardinality-constrained groups such that the minimum pairwise intra-group…

Many algorithms for approximate nearest neighbor search in high-dimensional spaces partition the data into clusters. At query time, in order to avoid exhaustive search, an index selects the few (or a single) clusters nearest to the query…

In this paper, we study the assortment optimization problem under the mixed-logit customer choice model. While assortment optimization has been a major topic in revenue management for decades, the mixed-logit model is considered one of the…

Clustering is a well-studied unsupervised learning task that aims to partition data points into a number of clusters. In many applications, these clusters correspond to real-world constructs (e.g., electoral districts, playlists, TV…

The presence of outliers can prevent clustering algorithms from accurately determining an appropriate group structure within a data set. We present outlierMBC, a model-based approach for sequentially removing outliers and clustering the…

This paper introduces a novel approach for cardinality-constrained Poisson regression to address feature selection challenges in high-dimensional count data. We formulate the problem as a mixed-integer conic optimization, enabling the use…

Clustering and outlier detection are two important tasks in data mining. Outliers frequently interfere with clustering algorithms to determine the similarity between objects, resulting in unreliable clustering results. Currently, only a few…

This paper presents a novel outer approximation algorithm for nonsmooth mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems. The method proceeds by fixing the integer variables and solving the resulting nonlinear convex subproblem. When…

Motivated by recent work in computational social choice, we extend the metric distortion framework to clustering problems. Given a set of $n$ agents located in an underlying metric space, our goal is to partition them into $k$ clusters,…

We present a global optimization approach for solving the maximum a-posteriori (MAP) clustering problem under the Gaussian mixture model.Our approach can accommodate side constraints and it preserves the combinatorial structure of the MAP…

We study the problem of estimating the means of well-separated mixtures when an adversary may add arbitrary outliers. While strong guarantees are available when the outlier fraction is significantly smaller than the minimum mixing weight,…

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…

We introduce a new $(\epsilon_p, \delta_p)$-differentially private algorithm for the $k$-means clustering problem. Given a dataset in Euclidean space, the $k$-means clustering problem requires one to find $k$ points in that space such that…
