摘要:

核心集是现代数据简化工具,广泛用于数据分析,以提高运行时间,空间和通信复杂性方面的效率。我们的主要结果是一个快速算法来构建一个小coreset的k-中位数(最短路径度量)的排除子图。具体来说,我们给出了第一个coreset的大小,只依赖于$k$,$ε$和排除的次要大小,我们的运行时间是准线性的(在输入图的大小)。我们的新算法的主要创新之处在于它是迭代的;它首先将$n$输入点简化为大致$O(\log n)$重新加权的点,然后简化为$O(\log\log n)$,依此类推,直到大小与$n$无关。这种迭代大小缩减中的每一步都基于Feldman和Langberg(STOC 2011)的重要性采样框架,通过采用终端嵌入(其中仅对从每个终端到所有其他点的距离保证低失真)来减少\emph{distinct points}的数量。我们的终端嵌入技术上涉及,并依赖于最短路径分隔符,一个标准的工具,在平面和排除未成年人的图形。此外,我们的新算法也适用于欧几里得度量,只需使用Narayanan和Nelson最近的终端嵌入结果(STOC 2019),它扩展了Johnson-Lindenstrauss引理。因此,我们在高维欧几里得空间中获得了一个有效的coreset构造,从而匹配和简化了最先进的结果(Sohler和Woodruff,FOCS 2018; Huang和Vishnoi,STOC 2020)。此外,我们还使用具有加性失真的终端嵌入来获得具有有界公路维数的图中的小coreset,并使用我们的coreset的应用来获得改进的近似方案,例如,通过一个新的质心集改进了平面k-Median的PTAS。

英文摘要:

Coresets are modern data-reduction tools that are widely used in data analysis to improve efficiency in terms of running time, space and communication complexity. Our main result is a fast algorithm to construct a small coreset for k-Median in (the shortest-path metric of) an excluded-minor graph. Specifically, we give the first coreset of size that depends only on $k$, $ε$ and the excluded-minor size, and our running time is quasi-linear (in the size of the input graph). The main innovation in our new algorithm is that is iterative; it first reduces the $n$ input points to roughly $O(\log n)$ reweighted points, then to $O(\log\log n)$, and so forth until the size is independent of $n$. Each step in this iterative size reduction is based on the importance sampling framework of Feldman and Langberg (STOC 2011), with a crucial adaptation that reduces the number of \emph{distinct points}, by employing a terminal embedding (where low distortion is guaranteed only for the distance from every terminal to all other points). Our terminal embedding is technically involved and relies on shortest-path separators, a standard tool in planar and excluded-minor graphs. Furthermore, our new algorithm is applicable also in Euclidean metrics, by simply using a recent terminal embedding result of Narayanan and Nelson, (STOC 2019), which extends the Johnson-Lindenstrauss Lemma. We thus obtain an efficient coreset construction in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces, thereby matching and simplifying state-of-the-art results (Sohler and Woodruff, FOCS 2018; Huang and Vishnoi, STOC 2020). In addition, we also employ terminal embedding with additive distortion to obtain small coresets in graphs with bounded highway dimension, and use applications of our coresets to obtain improved approximation schemes, e.g., an improved PTAS for planar k-Median via a new centroid set.
