We investigate coresets - succinct, small summaries of large data sets - so that solutions found on the summary are provably competitive with solution found on the full data set. We provide an overview over the state-of-the-art in coreset construction for machine learning. In Section 2, we present both the intuition behind and a theoretically sound framework to construct coresets for general problems and apply it to $k$-means clustering. In Section 3 we summarize existing coreset construction algorithms for a variety of machine learning problems such as maximum likelihood estimation of mixture models, Bayesian non-parametric models, principal component analysis, regression and general empirical risk minimization.

  1. Check, Please: Verifiably Fair Clustering

    cs.GT 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    DC-mPJR+ is a new proportionality concept for clustering that can be verified in O(mn log n + mnk) time and ensures that any clustering satisfying it also satisfies an approximate version of the stronger mPJR fairness...

  2. Stationary MMD Points

    stat.ML 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Stationary MMD points show super-convergence in integration error over MMD for RKHS integrands, and MMD gradient flows compute them with a new non-asymptotic finite-particle error bound.

  3. ASSS: A Differentiable Adversarial Framework for Task-Aware Data Reduction

    cs.LG 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    ASSS uses an adversarial selector and Gumbel-Softmax relaxation to retain 98.9% task performance with only 30% of the data by preferentially keeping boundary samples.
