摘要:

在基于中心的$k$ -聚类问题(如$k$ -means或$k$ -median)的研究中,设计核心集--$(1\pm ε)$ -近似因子中解的数据保持代价的小空间草图是一个重要的研究方向. Feldman和Langberg [STOC'11]已经表明,对于一般度量中的$n$点的$k$ -聚类,可以获得其大小在$n$中以几何方式依赖的核心集。此外,在一般度量中,$n$中的这种依赖性是不可避免的。该领域的大量近期工作致力于获得其大小独立于$n$的岩心(即,"small“coresets)的特殊度量,如$d$维欧氏空间,加倍度量,度量的图有界树宽,或那些不包括一个固定的小。在本文中,我们提供了第一个结构的小coreset的$k$ -聚类的度量诱导的几何求交图,如欧几里德加权单位圆盘/平方图。这些建设遵循一个一般定理,确定两个典型的性质,足以获得小coresets的图度量。我们定理的证明建立在Cohen-Addad,Saulpic和Schwiegelshohn [STOC '21]最近的工作基础上,该工作确保了以存在一组有趣的中心为条件的小尺寸coresets,称为“质心集”。我们工作的主要技术贡献是证明了满足这两个正则几何性质的图存在这样一个小尺寸的质心集。新的coreset结构有助于设计第一个$(1+ε)$近似的中心为基础的聚类问题在UDG和USG,这是固定参数的易处理的$k$和$ε$(FPT-AS)。

英文摘要:

Designing coresets--small-space sketches of the data preserving cost of the solutions within $(1\pm ε)$-approximate factor--is an important research direction in the study of center-based $k$-clustering problems, such as $k$-means or $k$-median. Feldman and Langberg [STOC'11] have shown that for $k$-clustering of $n$ points in general metrics, it is possible to obtain coresets whose size depends logarithmically in $n$. Moreover, such a dependency in $n$ is inevitable in general metrics. A significant amount of recent work in the area is devoted to obtaining coresests whose sizes are independent of $n$ (i.e., ``small'' coresets) for special metrics, like $d$-dimensional Euclidean spaces, doubling metrics, metrics of graphs of bounded treewidth, or those excluding a fixed minor. In this paper, we provide the first constructions of small coresets for $k$-clustering in the metrics induced by geometric intersection graphs, such as Euclidean-weighted Unit Disk/Square Graphs. These constructions follow from a general theorem that identifies two canonical properties of a graph metric sufficient for obtaining small coresets. The proof of our theorem builds on the recent work of Cohen-Addad, Saulpic, and Schwiegelshohn [STOC '21], which ensures small-sized coresets conditioned on the existence of an interesting set of centers, called ``centroid set''. The main technical contribution of our work is the proof of the existence of such a small-sized centroid set for graphs that satisfy the two canonical geometric properties. The new coreset construction helps to design the first $(1+ε)$-approximation for center-based clustering problems in UDGs and USGs, that is fixed-parameter tractable in $k$ and $ε$ (FPT-AS).
