We show that for n points in d-dimensional Euclidean space, a data oblivious random projection of the columns ontom ∈ O log k+log log n log ε1 ε6 dimensions is sufficient to approximate the cost of all k-means clusterings up to a multiplicative (1 ± ε) factor. The previous-best upper bounds on m are O(logε2n ) given by a direct application of the Johnson-Lindenstrauss Lemma, and O(εk2 ) given by [Cohen et al.-STOC’15].
