We propose CLoVE (Clustering of Loss Vector Embeddings), a novel algorithm for Clustered Federated Learning (CFL). In CFL, clients are naturally grouped into clusters based on their data distribution. However, identifying these clusters is challenging, as client assignments are unknown. CLoVE utiliz…
The m-out-of-n bootstrap—proposed by \cite{bickel1992resampling}—approximates the distribution of a statistic by repeatedly drawing $m$ subsamples ($m \ll n$) without replacement from an original sample of size n; it is now routinely used for robust inference with heavy-tailed data, bandwidth select…
Probabilistic principal component analysis (PPCA) is currently one of the most used statistical tools to reduce the ambient dimension of the data. From multidimensional scaling to the imputation of missing data, PPCA has a broad spectrum of applications ranging from science and engineering to quanti…
We show that a simple single-pass semi-streaming variant of the Pivot algorithm for Correlation Clustering gives a (3+eps)-approximation using O(n/eps) words of memory. This is a slight improvement over the recent results of Cambus, Kuhn, Lindy, Pai, and Uitto, who gave a (3+eps)-approximation using…
