Approximate clustering via core-sets
In this paper, we show that for several clustering problems one can extract a small set of points, so that using those core-sets enable us to perform approximate clustering effici...

A Constant-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the k-Median Problem
We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for the metric k-median problem. The k-median problem is one of the most well-studied clustering problems, i.e., those...

Fast k-Means Algorithms with Constant Approximation
In this paper we study the k-means clustering problem. It is well-known that the general version of this problem is NP-hard. Numerous approximation algorithms have been proposed fo...

Time-series clustering by approximate prototypes
Clustering time-series data poses problems, which do not exist in traditional clustering in Euclidean space. Specifically, cluster prototype needs to be calculated, where common s...

Approximation schemes for clustering problems
We present a general approach for designing approximation algorithms for a fundamental class of geometric clustering problems in arbitrary dimensions. More specifically, our appro...
