We consider the following natural problem that generalizes min-sum-radii clustering: Given is $k\in\mathbb{N}$ as well as some metric space $(V,d)$ where $V=F\cup C$ for facilities $F$ and clients $C$. The goal is to find a clustering given…
\textit{Clustering problems} often arise in the fields like data mining, machine learning etc. to group a collection of objects into similar groups with respect to a similarity (or dissimilarity) measure. Among the clustering problems,…
We give a dimensionality reduction procedure to approximate the sum of distances of a given set of $n$ points in $R^d$ to any "shape" that lies in a $k$-dimensional subspace. Here, by "shape" we mean any set of points in $R^d$. Our…
Spectral clustering has shown a superior performance in analyzing the cluster structure. However, its computational complexity limits its application in analyzing large-scale data. To address this problem, many low-rank matrix approximating…
This paper investigates the MaxRS problem in spatial databases. Given a set O of weighted points and a rectangular region r of a given size, the goal of the MaxRS problem is to find a location of r such that the sum of the weights of all…
Least squares approximation is a technique to find an approximate solution to a system of linear equations that has no exact solution. In a typical setting, one lets $n$ be the number of constraints and $d$ be the number of variables, with…
We present a general approach to rounding semidefinite programming relaxations obtained by the Sum-of-Squares method (Lasserre hierarchy). Our approach is based on using the connection between these relaxations and the Sum-of-Squares proof…
Two important optimization problems in the analysis of geometric data sets are clustering and sketching. Here, clustering refers to the problem of partitioning some input metric measure space (mm-space) into k clusters, minimizing some…
The clustering of data is one of the most important and challenging topics in data science. The minimum sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC) problem asks to cluster the data points into $k$ clusters such that the sum of squared distances…
he segment minimization problem consists of finding the smallest set of integer matrices that sum to a given intensity matrix, such that each summand has only one non-zero value, and the non-zeroes in each row are consecutive. This has…
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…
This paper presents a near-optimal distributed approximation algorithm for the minimum-weight connected dominating set (MCDS) problem. The presented algorithm finds an $O(\log n)$ approximation in $\tilde{O}(D+\sqrt{n})$ rounds, where $D$…
We study the task of differentially private clustering. For several basic clustering problems, including Euclidean DensestBall, 1-Cluster, k-means, and k-median, we give efficient differentially private algorithms that achieve essentially…
Clustering is a classic topic in optimization with $k$-means being one of the most fundamental such problems. In the absence of any restrictions on the input, the best known algorithm for $k$-means with a provable guarantee is a simple…
We study the Maximum Independent Set of Rectangles (MISR) problem, where we are given a set of axis-parallel rectangles in the plane and the goal is to select a subset of non-overlapping rectangles of maximum cardinality. In a recent…
In this paper, we study parallel algorithms for the correlation clustering problem, where every pair of two different entities is labeled with similar or dissimilar. The goal is to partition the entities into clusters to minimize the number…
We study a clustering problem where the goal is to maximize the coverage of the input points by $k$ chosen centers. Specifically, given a set of $n$ points $P \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, the goal is to pick $k$ centers $C \subseteq…
We study the minimum mean-squared error for 2-means clustering when the outcomes of the vector-valued random variable to be clustered are on two touching spheres of unit radius in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space and the underlying…
In a geometric $k$-clustering problem the goal is to partition a set of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ into $k$ subsets such that a certain cost function of the clustering is minimized. We present data structures for orthogonal range-clustering…
In the Min-Sum-Radii (MSR) clustering problem, we are given a finite set X of n points in a metric space. The objective is to find at most k clusters centered at a subset of these points such that every point of X is assigned to one of the…
