The $k$-Center problem is one of the most popular clustering problems. After decades of work, the complexity of most of its variants on general metrics is now well understood. Surprisingly, this is not the case for a natural setting that…
In the Priority $k$-Supplier problem the input consists of a metric space $(F \cup C, d)$ over set of facilities $F$ and a set of clients $C$, an integer $k > 0$, and a non-negative radius $r_v$ for each client $v \in C$. The goal is to…
We present approximation algorithms for the Fault-tolerant $k$-Supplier with Outliers ($\mathsf{F}k\mathsf{SO}$) problem. This is a common generalization of two known problems -- $k$-Supplier with Outliers, and Fault-tolerant $k$-Supplier…
We study the complexity of the classic capacitated k-median and k-means problems parameterized by the number of centers, k. These problems are notoriously difficult since the best known approximation bound for high dimensional Euclidean…
We study two generalizations of classic clustering problems called dynamic ordered $k$-median and dynamic $k$-supplier, where the points that need clustering evolve over time, and we are allowed to move the cluster centers between…
In this work, we study the hardness of approximation of the fair $k$-center problem. In this problem, we are given a set of data points in a metric space that is partitioned into groups and the task is to choose a subset of $k$-data points,…
In this work, we study a range of constrained versions of the $k$-supplier and $k$-center problems such as: capacitated, fault-tolerant, fair, etc. These problems fall under a broad framework of constrained clustering. A unified framework…
The $k$-center problem is a classic facility location problem, where given an edge-weighted graph $G = (V,E)$ one is to find a subset of $k$ vertices $S$, such that each vertex in $V$ is "close" to some vertex in $S$. The approximation…
In the classic $k$-center problem, we are given a metric graph, and the objective is to open $k$ nodes as centers such that the maximum distance from any vertex to its closest center is minimized. In this paper, we consider two important…
The Euclidean $k$-means problem is a classical problem that has been extensively studied in the theoretical computer science, machine learning and the computational geometry communities. In this problem, we are given a set of $n$ points in…
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 k-means problem consists of finding k centers in the d-dimensional Euclidean space that minimize the sum of the squared distances of all points in an input set P to their closest respective center. Awasthi et. al. recently showed that…
Data summarization tasks are often modeled as $k$-clustering problems, where the goal is to choose $k$ data points, called cluster centers, that best represent the dataset by minimizing a clustering objective. A popular objective is to…
Constrained clustering problems generalize classical clustering formulations, e.g., $k$-median, $k$-means, by imposing additional constraints on the feasibility of clustering. There has been significant recent progress in obtaining…
$k$-center is one of the most popular clustering models. While it admits a simple 2-approximation in polynomial time in general metrics, the Euclidean version is NP-hard to approximate within a factor of 1.93, even in the plane, if one…
In the past decade, matrix factorization has been extensively researched and has become one of the most popular techniques for personalized recommendations. Nevertheless, the dot product adopted in matrix factorization based recommender…
$k$-means clustering is NP-hard in the worst case but previous work has shown efficient algorithms assuming the optimal $k$-means clusters are \emph{stable} under additive or multiplicative perturbation of data. This has two caveats. First,…
In the Euclidean $k$-Means problem we are given a collection of $n$ points $D$ in an Euclidean space and a positive integer $k$. Our goal is to identify a collection of $k$ points in the same space (centers) so as to minimize the sum of the…
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…
The subspace approximation problem with outliers, for given $n$ points in $d$ dimensions $x_{1},\ldots, x_{n} \in R^{d}$, an integer $1 \leq k \leq d$, and an outlier parameter $0 \leq \alpha \leq 1$, is to find a $k$-dimensional linear…
