A classical problem in computational geometry and graph algorithms is: given a dynamic set S of geometric shapes in the plane, efficiently maintain the connectivity of the intersection graph of S. Previous papers studied the setting where,…

FastMap was first introduced in the Data Mining community for generating Euclidean embeddings of complex objects. In this dissertation, we first present FastMap to generate Euclidean embeddings of graphs in near-linear time: The pairwise…

$k$-Clustering in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (e.g., $k$-median and $k$-means) is a fundamental machine learning problem. While near-linear time approximation algorithms were known in the classical setting for a dataset with cardinality $n$, it remains…

This paper introduces a hierarchical clustering algorithm, the Clustroid Hierarchical Nearest Neighbor ($\mathrm{CHN}^2$), designed for datasets with a countably infinite number of points. The method builds clusters across successive levels…

In projective clustering we are given a set of n points in $R^d$ and wish to cluster them to a set $S$ of $k$ linear subspaces in $R^d$ according to some given distance function. An $\eps$-coreset for this problem is a weighted (scaled)…

Spectral clustering is a novel clustering method which can detect complex shapes of data clusters. However, it requires the eigen decomposition of the graph Laplacian matrix, which is proportion to $O(n^3)$ and thus is not suitable for…

This paper studies the hierarchical clustering problem, where the goal is to produce a dendrogram that represents clusters at varying scales of a data set. We propose the ParChain framework for designing parallel hierarchical agglomerative…

Clustering is often used for discovering structure in data. Clustering systems differ in the objective function used to evaluate clustering quality and the control strategy used to search the space of clusterings. Ideally, the search…

Many application areas collect unstructured trajectory data. In subtrajectory clustering, one is interested to find patterns in this data using a hybrid combination of segmentation and clustering. We analyze two variants of this problem…

The problem of constrained clustering has attracted significant attention in the past decades. In this paper, we study the balanced $k$-center, $k$-median, and $k$-means clustering problems where the size of each cluster is constrained by…

We study the use of power weighted shortest path distance functions for clustering high dimensional Euclidean data, under the assumption that the data is drawn from a collection of disjoint low dimensional manifolds. We argue, theoretically…

A new approach to clustering, based on the physical properties of inhomogeneous coupled chaotic maps, is presented. A chaotic map is assigned to each data-point and short range couplings are introduced. The stationary regime of the system…

Establishing the correspondences between newly acquired points and historically accumulated data (i.e., map) through nearest neighbors search is crucial in numerous robotic applications. However, static tree data structures are inadequate…

We study geometric set cover problems in dynamic settings, allowing insertions and deletions of points and objects. We present the first dynamic data structure that can maintain an $O(1)$-approximation in sublinear update time for set cover…

In the range closest pair problem, we want to construct a data structure storing a set $S$ of $n$ points in the plane, such that for any axes-parallel query rectangle $R$, the closest pair in the set $R \cap S$ can be reported. The…

Subspace clustering aims to find groups of similar objects (clusters) that exist in lower dimensional subspaces from a high dimensional dataset. It has a wide range of applications, such as analysing high dimensional sensor data or DNA…

In this paper we present a new dynamical systems algorithm for clustering in hyperspectral images. The main idea of the algorithm is that data points are \`pushed\' in the direction of increasing density and groups of pixels that end up in…

In the context of clustering, we consider a generative model in a Euclidean ambient space with clusters of different shapes, dimensions, sizes and densities. In an asymptotic setting where the number of points becomes large, we obtain…

The applicability of agglomerative clustering, for inferring both hierarchical and flat clustering, is limited by its scalability. Existing scalable hierarchical clustering methods sacrifice quality for speed and often lead to over-merging…

Manifold learning now plays a very important role in machine learning and many relevant applications. Although its superior performance in dealing with nonlinear data distribution, data sparsity is always a thorny knot. There are few…
