• Abstract: This paper presents a comparative analysis of different optimization techniques for the K-means algorithm in the context of big data. K-means is a widely used clustering algorithm, but it can suffer from scalability issues when dealing with large datasets. The paper explores different approaches to overcome these issues, including parallelization, approximation, and sampling methods. The authors evaluate the performance of various clustering techniques on a large number of benchmark datasets, comparing them according to the dominance criterion provided by the "less is more" approach (LIMA), i.e., simultaneously along the dimensions of speed, clustering quality, and simplicity. The results show that different techniques are more suitable for different types of datasets and provide insights into the trade-offs between speed and accuracy in K-means clustering for big data. Overall, the paper offers a comprehensive guide for practitioners and researchers on how to optimize K-means for big data applications.

  The paper proposes a family of communication efficient methods for distributed learning in heterogeneous environments. One-shot approach, based on local computations at the users and a clustering based aggregation step at the server is shown to provide strong learning guarantees. For strongly convex problems it is shown that, as long as the number of data points per user is above a threshold, the proposed approach achieves order-optimal mean-squared error rates in terms of the sample size.
