We revisit the simultaneous approximation model for the correlation clustering problem introduced by Davies, Moseley, and Newman[DMN24]. The objective is to find a clustering that minimizes given norms of the disagreement vector over all…

We consider the $k$-Clustering problem, which is for a given multiset of $n$ vectors $X\subset \mathbb{Z}^d$ and a nonnegative number $D$, to decide whether $X$ can be partitioned into $k$ clusters $C_1, \dots, C_k$ such that the cost…

In the past few years powerful generalizations to the Euclidean k-means problem have been made, such as Bregman clustering [7], co-clustering (i.e., simultaneous clustering of rows and columns of an input matrix) [9,18], and tensor…

Given an $n$-point metric space $(\mathcal{X},d)$ where each point belongs to one of $m=O(1)$ different categories or groups and a set of integers $k_1, \ldots, k_m$, the fair Max-Min diversification problem is to select $k_i$ points…

Given a collection of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, the goal of the $(k,z)$-clustering problem is to find a subset of $k$ "centers" that minimizes the sum of the $z$-th powers of the Euclidean distance of each point to the closest center.…

Clustering is a popular form of unsupervised learning for geometric data. Unfortunately, many clustering algorithms lead to cluster assignments that are hard to explain, partially because they depend on all the features of the data in a…

We provide a new bi-criteria $\tilde{O}(\log^2 k)$ competitive algorithm for explainable $k$-means clustering. Explainable $k$-means was recently introduced by Dasgupta, Frost, Moshkovitz, and Rashtchian (ICML 2020). It is described by an…

We consider the $k$-Median problem on planar graphs: given an edge-weighted planar graph $G$, a set of clients $C \subseteq V(G)$, a set of facilities $F \subseteq V(G)$, and an integer parameter $k$, the task is to find a set of at most…

We give the first near-linear time $(1+\eps)$-approximation algorithm for $k$-median clustering of polygonal trajectories under the discrete Fr\'{e}chet distance, and the first polynomial time $(1+\eps)$-approximation algorithm for…

We study coresets for clustering with capacity and fairness constraints. Our main result is a near-linear time algorithm to construct $\tilde{O}(k^2\varepsilon^{-2z-2})$-sized $\varepsilon$-coresets for capacitated $(k,z)$-clustering which…

Clustering is one of the most fundamental problem in Machine Learning. Researchers in the field often require a lower bound on the size of the clusters to maintain anonymity and upper bound for the ease of analysis. Specifying an optimal…

$K$-means, a simple and effective clustering algorithm, is one of the most widely used algorithms in multimedia and computer vision community. Traditional $k$-means is an iterative algorithm---in each iteration new cluster centers are…

A fair clustering instance is given a data set $A$ in which every point is assigned some color. Colors correspond to various protected attributes such as sex, ethnicity, or age. A fair clustering is an instance where membership of points in…

Clustering is a fundamental task in machine learning and data analysis, but it frequently fails to provide fair representation for various marginalized communities defined by multiple protected attributes -- a shortcoming often caused by…

We investigate $k$-means clustering in the online no-substitution setting when the input arrives in \emph{arbitrary} order. In this setting, points arrive one after another, and the algorithm is required to instantly decide whether to take…

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…

Hierarchical Clustering is a popular tool for understanding the hereditary properties of a data set. Such a clustering is actually a sequence of clusterings that starts with the trivial clustering in which every data point forms its own…

We study fair clustering problems as proposed by Chierichetti et al. (NIPS 2017). Here, points have a sensitive attribute and all clusters in the solution are required to be balanced with respect to it (to counteract any form of…

Clustering is an unsupervised learning task that aims to partition data into a set of clusters. In many applications, these clusters correspond to real-world constructs (e.g. electoral districts) whose benefit can only be attained by groups…

We study the \LowerBoundedCenter (\lbc) problem, which is a clustering problem that can be viewed as a variant of the \kCenter problem. In the \lbc problem, we are given a set of points P in a metric space and a lower bound \lambda, and the…
