A -Approximation Algorithm for Metric -Median
Vincent Cohen-Addad, Fabrizio Grandoni, Euiwoong Lee +2
In the classical NP-hard metric -median problem, we are given a set of clients and centers with metric distances between them, along with an integer parameter . The…
Breaching the 2 LMP Approximation Barrier for Facility Location with Applications to k-Median
Vincent Cohen-Addad, Fabrizio Grandoni, Euiwoong Lee +1
The Uncapacitated Facility Location (UFL) problem is one of the most fundamental clustering problems: Given a set of clients and a set of facilities in a metric space $(C \…
On Approximability of Min-Sum Clustering
Karthik C. S., Euiwoong Lee, Yuval Rabani +2
The min-sum -clustering problem is to partition an input set into clusters to minimize . Although $\ell_2^2…
Sensitivity Sampling for -Means: Worst Case and Stability Optimal Coreset Bounds
Nikhil Bansal, Vincent Cohen-Addad, Milind Prabhu +2
Coresets are arguably the most popular compression paradigm for center-based clustering objectives such as -means. Given a point set , a coreset is a small, weighted sum…
