Coresets for Fuzzy K-Means with Applications

Authors: Johannes Blömer, Sascha Brauer, and Kathrin Bujna

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 123, 29th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2018)

Abstract

The fuzzy K-means problem is a popular generalization of the well-known K-means problem to soft clusterings. We present the first coresets for fuzzy K-means with size linear in the dimension, polynomial in the number of clusters, and poly-logarithmic in the number of points. We show that these coresets can be employed in the computation of a (1+epsilon)-approximation for fuzzy K-means, improving previously presented results. We further show that our coresets can be maintained in an insertion-only streaming setting, where data points arrive one-by-one.
