This paper considers the problem of clustering a partially observed unweighted graph---i.e., one where for some node pairs we know there is an edge between them, for some others we know there is no edge, and for the remaining we do not know…
Structural balance theory studies stability in networks. Given a $n$-vertex complete graph $G=(V,E)$ whose edges are labeled positive or negative, the graph is considered \emph{balanced} if every triangle either consists of three positive…
We study Clustered Planarity with Linear Saturators, which is the problem of augmenting an $n$-vertex planar graph whose vertices are partitioned into independent sets (called clusters) with paths - one for each cluster - that connect all…
Clustering large datasets is a fundamental problem with a number of applications in machine learning. Data is often collected on different sites and clustering needs to be performed in a distributed manner with low communication. We would…
We consider the problem of clustering in the learning-augmented setting, where we are given a data set in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, and a label for each data point given by an oracle indicating what subsets of points should be…
The problem of constrained $k$-center clustering has attracted significant attention in the past decades. In this paper, we study balanced $k$-center cluster where the size of each cluster is constrained by the given lower and upper bounds.…
Symmetries in a network connectivity regulate how the graph's functioning organizes into clustered states. Classical methods for tracing the symmetry group of a network require very high computational costs, and therefore they are of hard,…
In this paper, we study distributed graph algorithms in networks in which the nodes have a limited communication capacity. Many distributed systems are built on top of an underlying networking infrastructure, for example by using a virtual…
Given $n$ points in $\ell_p^d$, we consider the problem of partitioning points into $k$ clusters with associated centers. The cost of a clustering is the sum of $p^{\text{th}}$ powers of distances of points to their cluster centers. For $p…
We study dynamic clustering problems from the perspective of online learning. We consider an online learning problem, called \textit{Dynamic $k$-Clustering}, in which $k$ centers are maintained in a metric space over time (centers may…
We address the problem of designing a sublinear-time spectral clustering oracle for graphs that exhibit strong clusterability. Such graphs contain $k$ latent clusters, each characterized by a large inner conductance (at least $\varphi$) and…
The increasing popularity of cloud computing has resulted in a proliferation of data centers. Effective placement of data centers improves network performance and minimizes clients' perceived latency. The problem of determining the optimal…
In this work, we study the $k$-median and $k$-means clustering problems when the data is distributed across many servers and can contain outliers. While there has been a lot of work on these problems for worst-case instances, we focus on…
Several clustering frameworks with interactive (semi-supervised) queries have been studied in the past. Recently, clustering with same-cluster queries has become popular. An algorithm in this setting has access to an oracle with full…
In this work, a graph partitioning problem in a fixed number of connected components is considered. Given an undirected graph with costs on the edges, the problem consists of partitioning the set of nodes into a fixed number of subsets with…
This article empirically examines the computational cost of solving a known hard problem, graph clustering, using novel purpose-built computer hardware. We express the graph clustering problem as an intra-cluster distance or dissimilarity…
In the $\ell$-Component Order Connectivity problem ($\ell \in \mathbb{N}$), we are given a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, $m$ edges and a non-negative integer $k$ and asks whether there exists a set of vertices $S\subseteq V(G)$ such that…
A distributed algorithm performs local computations on pieces of input and communicates the results through given communication links. When processing a massive graph in a distributed algorithm, local outputs must be configured as a…
In online unit clustering, points of a metric space arriving one by one must be partitioned into clusters of diameter at most 1, where the cost is the number of clusters. This paper gives linear upper and lower bounds on the advice…
We consider the problem of center-based clustering in low-dimensional Euclidean spaces under the perturbation stability assumption. An instance is $\alpha$-stable if the underlying optimal clustering continues to remain optimal even when…
