We present the first algorithm for fully dynamic $k$-centers clustering in an arbitrary metric space that maintains an optimal $2+\epsilon$ approximation in $O(k \cdot \operatorname{polylog}(n,\Delta))$ amortized update time. Here, $n$ is…

Clustering is an important task with applications in many fields of computer science. We study the fully dynamic setting in which we want to maintain good clusters efficiently when input points (from a metric space) can be inserted and…

We study the consistent k-center clustering problem. In this problem, the goal is to maintain a constant factor approximate $k$-center solution during a sequence of $n$ point insertions and deletions while minimizing the recourse, i.e., the…

In this paper, we study the fundamental problems of maintaining the diameter and a $k$-center clustering of a dynamic point set $P \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, where points may be inserted or deleted over time and the ambient dimension $d$ is not…

Clustering is one of the most fundamental problems in unsupervised learning with a large number of applications. However, classical clustering algorithms assume that the data is static, thus failing to capture many real-world applications…

We present a $O(1)$-approximate fully dynamic algorithm for the $k$-median and $k$-means problems on metric spaces with amortized update time $\tilde O(k)$ and worst-case query time $\tilde O(k^2)$. We complement our theoretical analysis…

Given a sequence of adversarial point insertions and point deletions, is it possible to simultaneously optimize the approximation ratio, update time, and recourse for a $k$-clustering problem? If so, can this be achieved with worst-case…

In metric $k$-clustering, we are given as input a set of $n$ points in a general metric space, and we have to pick $k$ centers and cluster the input points around these chosen centers, so as to minimize an appropriate objective function. In…

In this paper, we consider the \emph{metric $k$-center} problem in the fully dynamic setting, where we are given a metric space $(V,d)$ evolving via a sequence of point insertions and deletions and our task is to maintain a subset $S…

In the dynamic metric $k$-median problem, we wish to maintain a set of $k$ centers $S \subseteq V$ in an input metric space $(V, d)$ that gets updated via point insertions/deletions, so as to minimize the objective $\sum_{x \in V} \min_{y…

Given points from an arbitrary metric space and a sequence of point updates sent by an adversary, what is the minimum recourse per update (i.e., the minimum number of changes needed to the set of centers after an update), in order to…

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…

In fully-dynamic consistent clustering, we are given a finite metric space $(M,d)$, and a set $F\subseteq M$ of possible locations for opening centers. Data points arrive and depart, and the goal is to maintain an approximately optimal…

We study the dynamic correlation clustering problem with $\textit{adaptive}$ edge label flips. In correlation clustering, we are given a $n$-vertex complete graph whose edges are labeled either $(+)$ or $(-)$, and the goal is to minimize…

In this paper we initiate a systematic study of exact algorithms for well-known clustering problems, namely $k$-Median and $k$-Means. In $k$-Median, the input consists of a set $X$ of $n$ points belonging to a metric space, and the task is…

The $k$-center problem is a fundamental clustering variant with applications in learning systems and data summarization. In several real-world scenarios, the dataset to be clustered is not static, but evolves over time, as new data points…

We present approximation algorithms for some variants of center-based clustering and related problems in the fully dynamic setting, where the pointset evolves through an arbitrary sequence of insertions and deletions. Specifically, we…

The metric $k$-median problem is a textbook clustering problem. As input, we are given a metric space $V$ of size $n$ and an integer $k$, and our task is to find a subset $S \subseteq V$ of at most $k$ `centers' that minimizes the total…

We study in this paper the problem of maintaining a solution to $k$-median and $k$-means clustering in a fully dynamic setting. To do so, we present an algorithm to efficiently maintain a coreset, a compressed version of the dataset, that…

We establish the first update-time separation between dynamic algorithms against oblivious adversaries and those against adaptive adversaries in natural dynamic graph problems, based on popular fine-grained complexity hypotheses.…
