We introduce general tools for designing efficient private estimation algorithms, in the high-dimensional settings, whose statistical guarantees almost match those of the best known non-private algorithms. To illustrate our techniques, we…

We study community recovery in the planted partition model in regimes where the number and sizes of communities may vary arbitrarily with the number of vertices. In such highly unbalanced settings, standard accuracy or overlap-based metrics…

Clustering is a fundamental primitive in unsupervised learning. However, classical algorithms for $k$-clustering (such as $k$-median and $k$-means) assume access to exact pairwise distances -- an unrealistic requirement in many modern…

Subspace clustering is the problem of clustering data that lie close to a union of linear subspaces. In the abstract form of the problem, where no noise or other corruptions are present, the data are assumed to lie in general position…

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…

Spectral clustering is a fundamental technique in the field of data mining and information processing. Most existing spectral clustering algorithms integrate dimensionality reduction into the clustering process assisted by manifold learning…

We study the problem of explainable clustering in the setting first formalized by Dasgupta, Frost, Moshkovitz, and Rashtchian (ICML 2020). A $k$-clustering is said to be explainable if it is given by a decision tree where each internal node…

Network clustering tackles the problem of identifying sets of nodes (communities) that have similar connection patterns. However, in many scenarios, nodes also have attributes that are correlated with the clustering structure. Thus, network…

In recent years, spectral clustering has become a standard method for data analysis used in a broad range of applications. In this paper we propose a new class of algorithms for multiway spectral clustering based on optimization of a…

Suppose, we are given a set of $n$ elements to be clustered into $k$ (unknown) clusters, and an oracle/expert labeler that can interactively answer pair-wise queries of the form, "do two elements $u$ and $v$ belong to the same cluster?".…

We consider the exact recovery problem in the hypergraph stochastic block model (HSBM) with $k$ blocks of equal size. More precisely, we consider a random $d$-uniform hypergraph $H$ with $n$ vertices partitioned into $k$ clusters of size $s…

We establish sufficient conditions of exact and almost full recovery of the node partition in Bipartite Stochastic Block Model (BSBM) using polynomial time algorithms. First, we improve upon the known conditions of almost full recovery by…

The 1-center clustering with outliers problem asks about identifying a prototypical robust statistic that approximates the location of a cluster of points. Given some constant $0 < \alpha < 1$ and $n$ points such that $\alpha n$ of them are…

In many applications of clustering (for example, ontologies or clusterings of animal or plant species), hierarchical clusterings are more descriptive than a flat clustering. A hierarchical clustering over $n$ elements is represented by a…

We study a general clustering setting in which we have $n$ elements to be clustered, and we aim to perform as few queries as possible to an oracle that returns a noisy sample of the weighted similarity between two elements. Our setting…

The diameter $k$-clustering problem is the problem of partitioning a finite subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ into $k$ subsets called clusters such that the maximum diameter of the clusters is minimized. One early clustering algorithm that computes…

We design new parallel algorithms for clustering in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces. These algorithms run in the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model, and are fully scalable, meaning that the local memory in each machine may be…

For the degree corrected stochastic block model in the presence of arbitrary or even adversarial outliers, we develop a convex-optimization-based clustering algorithm that includes a penalization term depending on the positive deviation of…

We investigate the problem of recovering a partially observed high-rank matrix whose columns obey a nonlinear structure such as a union of subspaces, an algebraic variety or grouped in clusters. The recovery problem is formulated as the…

It is well known that the classical single linkage algorithm usually fails to identify clusters in the presence of outliers. In this paper, we propose a new version of this algorithm, and we study its mathematical performances. In…
