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. Given a query $S \subset U$, $|S|=2$, the oracle returns "yes" if the points are in the same cluster and "no" otherwise. For adaptive algorithms, the query complexity is known to be $\Theta(nk)$, while non-adaptive algorithms are extremely limited: even for $k=3$, such algorithms require $\Omega(n^2)$ queries, matching the trivial upper bound. However, non-adaptivity is hig
The paper was published on arXiv, signaling new academic developments in AI and algorithmic efficiency for clustering problems.
Improved non-adaptive algorithms for clustering could lead to more efficient data analysis techniques, particularly in scenarios where interactive querying is constrained.
New theoretical bounds on non-adaptive clustering algorithms demonstrate a potential path to overcoming previous limitations in query complexity.
