Random dimensionality reduction is a versatile tool for speeding up algorithms for high-dimensional problems. We study its application to two clustering problems: the facility location problem, and the single-linkage hierarchical clustering…

Large collections of matrices arise throughout modern machine learning, signal processing, and scientific computing, where they are commonly compressed by concatenation followed by truncated singular value decomposition (SVD). This strategy…

In this work, a cut high-dimensional model representation (cut-HDMR) expansion based on multiple anchors is constructed via the clustering method. Specifically, a set of random input realizations is drawn from the parameter space and…

The (axis-parallel) stabbing number of a given set of line segments is the maximum number of segments that can be intersected by any one (axis-parallel) line. This paper deals with finding perfect matchings, spanning trees, or…

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…

In the Steiner Tree problem we are given an edge weighted undirected graph $G = (V,E)$ and a set of terminals $R \subseteq V$. The task is to find a connected subgraph of $G$ containing $R$ and minimizing the sum of weights of its edges. We…

We present a general framework for computing two-dimensional Voronoi diagrams of different classes of sites under various distance functions. The framework is sufficiently general to support diagrams embedded on a family of two-dimensional…

Given two point sets in the plane, we study the minimization of the bottleneck distance between a point set B and an equally-sized subset of a point set A under translations. We relate this problem to a Voronoi-type diagram and derive…

The structure of many complex networks includes edge directionality and weights on top of their topology. Network analysis that can seamlessly consider combination of these properties are desirable. In this paper, we study two important…

The minimum height of vertex and edge partition trees are well-studied graph parameters known as, for instance, vertex and edge ranking number. While they are NP-hard to determine in general, linear-time algorithms exist for trees.…

Cluster deletion is an NP-hard graph clustering objective with applications in computational biology and social network analysis, where the goal is to delete a minimum number of edges to partition a graph into cliques. We first provide a…

Unsupervised classification called clustering is a process of organizing objects into groups whose members are similar in some way. Clustering of uncertain data objects is a challenge in spatial data bases. In this paper we use Probability…

Following recent advances in combining approximation algorithms with fixed-parameter tractability (FPT), we study FPT-time approximation algorithms for minimum-norm $k$-clustering problems, parameterized by the number $k$ of open…

This work addresses the collaborative multi-robot autonomous online exploration problem, particularly focusing on distributed exploration planning for dynamically balanced exploration area partition and task allocation among a team of…

Fitting distances to tree metrics and ultrametrics are two widely used methods in hierarchical clustering, primarily explored within the context of numerical taxonomy. Given a positive distance function…

The well-known graph-based clustering methods, including spectral clustering, symmetric non-negative matrix factorization, and doubly stochastic normalization, can be viewed as relaxations of the kernel $k$-means approach. However, we posit…

Hierarchical clustering (HC) is an important data analysis technique in which the goal is to recursively partition a dataset into a tree-like structure while grouping together similar data points at each level of granularity. Unfortunately,…

We define a general variant of the graph clustering problem where the criterion of density for the clusters is (high) connectivity. In {\sc Clustering to Given Connectivities}, we are given an $n$-vertex graph $G$, an integer $k$, and a…

The Stokeslet and stresslet kernels are commonly used in boundary element simulations and singularity methods for slow viscous flow. Evaluating the velocity induced by a collection of Stokeslets and stresslets by direct summation requires…

This paper introduces a novel algorithm for Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) problems with multilinear interpolations of look-up tables. These problems arise when objective or constraints contain black-box functions only known at…
