In the face of the data onslaught, smart algorithms have a significant role to play. Over the last couple of decades, coresets, a small and efficiently calculable data summary, have grown in popularity, both in theoretical and practical settings. They enable approximating large optimizations while needing only a fraction of the resources. In this talk, we will discuss a few recent results related to creating coresets for tensor factorization and Bregman clustering. Our coresets are online in nature, i.e., for every incoming point, it takes an irrevocable decision whether to include it in the coreset. We will also discuss some in-progress results related to creating coresets with deterministic guarantees. The talk is based on joint works with Jayesh Choudhari, Supratim Shit, and Rachit Chhaya.
