Distributed k-Means and k-Median Clustering on General Topologies
This paper provides new algorithms for distributed clustering for two popular center-based objectives, k-median and k-means. These algorithms have provable guarantees and improve communication complexity over existing approaches. Following a classic approach in clustering by \cite{har2004coresets}, we reduce the problem of finding a clustering with low cost to the problem of finding a coreset of small size. We provide a distributed method for constructing a global coreset which improves over the previous methods by reducing the communication complexity, and which works over general communication topologies. Experimental results on large scale data sets show that this approach outperforms other coreset-based distributed clustering algorithms.

Robust Communication-Optimal Distributed Clustering Algorithms
In this work, we study the $k$-median and $k$-means clustering problems when the data is distributed across many servers and can contain outliers. While there has been a lot of work on these problems for worst-case insta…
ClusteringDistributed $k$-Clustering for Data with Heavy Noise
In this paper, we consider the $k$-center/median/means clustering with outliers problems (or the $(k, z)$-center/median/means problems) in the distributed setting. Most previous distributed algorithms have their communic…

ClusteringDistributed Balanced Clustering via Mapping Coresets
Large-scale clustering of data points in metric spaces is an important problem in mining big data sets. For many applications, we face explicit or implicit size constraints for each cluster which leads to the problem of …
ClusteringPerformance of Johnson-Lindenstrauss Transform for k-Means and k-Medians Clustering
Consider an instance of Euclidean $k$-means or $k$-medians clustering. We show that the cost of the optimal solution is preserved up to a factor of $(1+\varepsilon)$ under a projection onto a random $O(\log(k / \varepsil…
