Fully Dynamic k-Means Coreset in Near-Optimal Update Time

Authors: Max Dupré la Tour, Monika Henzinger, and David Saulpic

Abstract

We study in this paper the problem of maintaining a solution to k-median and k-means clustering in a fully dynamic setting. To do so, we present an algorithm to efficiently maintain a coreset, a compressed version of the dataset, that allows easy computation of a clustering solution at query time. Our coreset algorithm has near-optimal update time of Õ(k) in general metric spaces, which reduces to Õ(d) in the Euclidean space ℝ^d. The query time is O(k²) in general metrics, and O(kd) in ℝ^d. To maintain a constant-factor approximation for k-median and k-means clustering in Euclidean space, this directly leads to an algorithm with update time Õ(d), and query time Õ(kd + k²). To maintain a O(polylog k)-approximation, the query time is reduced to Õ(kd).
