In the standard planar $k$-center clustering problem, one is given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane, and the goal is to select $k$ center points, so as to minimize the maximum distance over points in $P$ to their nearest center. Here we…

This paper focuses on the sparse subspace clustering problem, and develops an online algorithmic solution to cluster data points on-the-fly, without revisiting the whole dataset. The strategy involves an online solution of a sparse…

Connected clustering denotes a family of constrained clustering problems in which we are given a distance metric and an undirected connectivity graph $G$ that can be completely unrelated to the metric. The aim is to partition the $n$…

This paper is motivated by real-life applications of bi-objective optimization. Having many non dominated solutions, one wishes to cluster the Pareto front using Euclidian distances. The p-center problems, both in the discrete and…

Given a set of points $P \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, the $k$-means clustering problem is to find a set of $k$ {\em centers} $C = \{c_1,...,c_k\}, c_i \in \mathbb{R}^d,$ such that the objective function $\sum_{x \in P} d(x,C)^2$, where $d(x,C)$…

This paper proposes a centroid-based clustering algorithm which is capable of clustering data-points with n-features, without having to specify the number of clusters to be formed. The core logic behind the algorithm is a similarity…

In this paper, we address the problem of recovering arbitrary-shaped data clusters from datasets while facing \emph{high space constraints}, as this is for instance the case in many real-world applications when analysis algorithms are…

We consider the problem of recovering a complete (i.e., square and invertible) matrix $\mathbf A_0$, from $\mathbf Y \in \mathbb R^{n \times p}$ with $\mathbf Y = \mathbf A_0 \mathbf X_0$, provided $\mathbf X_0$ is sufficiently sparse. This…

We study data clustering problems with $\ell_p$-norm objectives (e.g. $k$-Median and $k$-Means) in the context of individual fairness. The dataset consists of $n$ points, and we want to find $k$ centers such that (a) the objective is…

We develop dynamic data structures for maintaining a hierarchical k-center clustering when the points come from a discrete space $\{1,\ldots,\Delta\}^d$. Our first data structure is for the low dimensional setting, i.e., d is a constant,…

Clustering is one of the most fundamental and wide-spread techniques in exploratory data analysis. Yet, the basic approach to clustering has not really changed: a practitioner hand-picks a task-specific clustering loss to optimize and fit…

Spherical k-Means is frequently used to cluster document collections because it performs reasonably well in many settings and is computationally efficient. However, the time complexity increases linearly with the number of clusters k, which…

The applicability of agglomerative clustering, for inferring both hierarchical and flat clustering, is limited by its scalability. Existing scalable hierarchical clustering methods sacrifice quality for speed and often lead to over-merging…

We consider the classic Euclidean $k$-median and $k$-means objective on data streams, where the goal is to provide a $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation to the optimal $k$-median or $k$-means solution, while using as little memory as possible.…

An exponential-time exact algorithm is provided for the task of clustering n items of data into k clusters. Instead of seeking one partition, posterior probabilities are computed for summary statistics: the number of clusters, and pairwise…

In this work we study orbit recovery over $SO(3)$, where the goal is to recover a function on the sphere from noisy, randomly rotated copies of it. We assume that the function is a linear combination of low-degree spherical harmonics. This…

We propose k^2-means, a new clustering method which efficiently copes with large numbers of clusters and achieves low energy solutions. k^2-means builds upon the standard k-means (Lloyd's algorithm) and combines a new strategy to accelerate…

Sparse subspace clustering (SSC) clusters $n$ points that lie near a union of low-dimensional subspaces. The SSC model expresses each point as a linear or affine combination of the other points, using either $\ell_1$ or $\ell_0$…

We consider the Euclidean $k$-means clustering problem in a dynamic setting, where we have to explicitly maintain a solution (a set of $k$ centers) $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ subject to point insertions/deletions in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We…

The analysis of large datasets is often complicated by the presence of missing entries, mainly because most of the current machine learning algorithms are designed to work with full data. The main focus of this work is to introduce a…
