arXiv:2602. 08542v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Given a weighted undirected graph, a number of clusters $k$, and an exponent $z$, the goal in the $(k, z)$-clustering problem on graphs is to select $k$ vertices as centers that minimize the sum of the distances raised to the power $z$ of each vertex to its closest center.
arXiv:2607. 13217v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Consider the following variation on the Hierarchical Clustering problem: Usually, while building a hierarchical clustering, one recursively partitions the data until each cluster becomes a singleton.
Consider the following variation on the Hierarchical Clustering problem: Usually, while building a hierarchical clustering, one recursively partitions the data until each cluster becomes a singleton. We relax the halting condition of the recursive process to stop whenever the remaining cluster is a graph belonging to a class $\mathcal{F}$.
arXiv:2608.21466v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We develop spectral algorithms for selecting state-space partitions that define averaging kernels for finite, ergodic and reversible Markov chains. For...

arXiv:2412. 03008v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Local/seeded clustering aims to find a compact cluster near the given starting instances.
arXiv:2409. 10908v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recovering the underlying $k$-clustering of a set $U$ of $n$ points by asking pair-wise same-cluster queries has garnered significant interest in the past few years.
arXiv:2609.09255v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph-data workloads such as diffusion estimation, ranking, semi-supervised learning, and network optimization often solve many Laplacian or symmetric...
