Abstract
Normally in clustering we try to optimize some average distortion between the items and the prototypes. I’ll review a setup for clustering (vector quantization) in which the quantity of interest is the worst distortion between any item and its chosen prototype. Optimizing this (or a bound on it) creates a minimax problem similar to problems with a rich history in control theory and operations research. I’ll review a linear programming relaxation which solves the problem and discuss extensions to the setting of classification.
