Reviews: Coresets for Clustering with Fairness Constraints

Neural Information Processing Systems 

This paper introduces a new coreset construction mechanism for fair clustering in which the points can be of multiple disjoint types. As in classic fair clustering, the goal of this work is to construct a clustering in which the types represented in each cluster are balanced. Unlike previous work, the focus here is on constructing the clustering efficiently via coresets. This work provides a coreset construction algorithm for fair k-median (previously unknown) and improves the previously known coreset construction algorithm for fair k-means. In addition to theoretical contributions with respect to coreset size and construction time, the authors also provide a small empirical study.
