The $k$-median and $k$-means clustering objectives are classic objectives for modeling clustering in a metric space. Given a set of points in a metric space, the goal of the $k$-median (resp. $k$-means) problem is to find $k$ representative…

Subspace clustering is the unsupervised grouping of points lying near a union of low-dimensional linear subspaces. Algorithms based directly on geometric properties of such data tend to either provide poor empirical performance, lack…

The stochastic block model (SBM) with two communities, or equivalently the planted bisection model, is a popular model of random graph exhibiting a cluster behaviour. In the symmetric case, the graph has two equally sized clusters and…

In fully dynamic clustering problems, a clustering of a given data set in a metric space must be maintained while it is modified through insertions and deletions of individual points. In this paper, we resolve the complexity of fully…

In this paper, we investigate the learning-augmented $k$-median clustering problem, which aims to improve the performance of traditional clustering algorithms by preprocessing the point set with a predictor of error rate $\alpha \in [0,1)$.…

The analysis of continously larger datasets is a task of major importance in a wide variety of scientific fields. In this sense, cluster analysis algorithms are a key element of exploratory data analysis, due to their easiness in the…

Data de-duplication is the task of detecting multiple records that correspond to the same real-world entity in a database. In this work, we view de-duplication as a clustering problem where the goal is to put records corresponding to the…

The fairness of clustering algorithms has gained widespread attention across various areas, including machine learning, In this paper, we study fair $k$-means clustering in Euclidean space. Given a dataset comprising several groups, the…

Operator learning is reshaping scientific computing by amortizing inference across infinite families of problems. While neural operators (NOs) are increasingly well understood for regression, far less is known for classification and its…

Clustering plays a crucial role in computer science, facilitating data analysis and problem-solving across numerous fields. By partitioning large datasets into meaningful groups, clustering reveals hidden structures and relationships within…

We study fair clustering problems in a setting where distance information is obtained from two sources: a strong oracle providing exact distances, but at a high cost, and a weak oracle providing potentially inaccurate distance estimates at…

We propose a novel clustering model encompassing two well-known clustering models: k-center clustering and k-median clustering. In the Hybrid k-Clusetring problem, given a set P of points in R^d, an integer k, and a non-negative real r, our…

Clustering is one of the most fundamental problems in unsupervised learning with a large number of applications. However, classical clustering algorithms assume that the data is static, thus failing to capture many real-world applications…

Given a complete graph $G = (V, E)$ where each edge is labeled $+$ or $-$, the Correlation Clustering problem asks to partition $V$ into clusters to minimize the number of $+$edges between different clusters plus the number of $-$edges…

We initiate the study of the following general clustering problem. We seek to partition a given set $P$ of data points into $k$ clusters by finding a set $X$ of $k$ centers and assigning each data point to one of the centers. The cost of a…

We study $k$-clustering problems with lower bounds, including $k$-median and $k$-means clustering with lower bounds. In addition to the point set $P$ and the number of centers $k$, a $k$-clustering problem with (uniform) lower bounds gets a…

In the Euclidean $k$-center problem in sliding window model, input points are given in a data stream and the goal is to find the $k$ smallest congruent balls whose union covers the $N$ most recent points of the stream. In this model, input…

The clustering problem, in its many variants, has numerous applications in operations research and computer science (e.g., in applications in bioinformatics, image processing, social network analysis, etc.). As sizes of data sets have grown…

Traditional k-means clustering underperforms on non-convex shapes and requires the number of clusters k to be specified in advance. We propose a simple geometric enhancement: after standard k-means, each cluster center is assigned a radius…

Spectral clustering is a powerful unsupervised machine learning algorithm for clustering data with non convex or nested structures. With roots in graph theory, it uses the spectral properties of the Laplacian matrix to project the data in a…
