We explore combining reinforcement learning with a hand-crafted local controller in a manner suggested by the chaotic control algorithm of Vincent, Schmitt and Vincent (1994). A c...
The min-sum k-clustering problem is to partition a metric space (P, d) into k clusters C1, . . . , Ck ⊆ P such that k i=1 p,q∈Ci d(p, q) is minimized. We show the first effi...
d Abstract] Robert Krauthgamer James R. Lee We present a simple deterministic data structure for maintaining a set S of points in a general metric space, while supporting proximit...
Let R be a set of objects. An object o R is an outlier, if there exist less than k objects in R whose distances to o are at most r. The values of k, r, and the distance metric ar...
Interactive clustering refers to situations in which a human labeler is willing to assist a learning algorithm in automatically clustering items. We present a related but somewhat...
