Suppose we have a sample from a distribution $D$ and we want to test whether $D = D^*$ for a fixed distribution $D^*$. Specifically, we want to reject with constant probability, if the distance of $D$ from $D^*$ is $\geq \varepsilon$ in a…
In this paper, we present near-optimal space bounds for Lp-samplers. Given a stream of updates (additions and subtraction) to the coordinates of an underlying vector x \in R^n, a perfect Lp sampler outputs the i-th coordinate with…
Given a finite set of points $P \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, we would like to find a small subset $S \subseteq P$ such that the convex hull of $S$ approximately contains $P$. More formally, every point in $P$ is within distance $\epsilon$ from…
We study the problem of recognizing regular languages in a variant of the streaming model of computation, called the sliding window model. In this model, we are given a size of the sliding window $n$ and a stream of symbols. At each time…
Motivated by the quest for scalable and succinct zero knowledge arguments, we revisit worst-case-to-average-case reductions for linear spaces, raised by [Rothblum, Vadhan, Wigderson, STOC 2013]. We first show a sharp quantitative form of a…
We revisit the MaxSAT problem in the data stream model. In this problem, the stream consists of $m$ clauses that are disjunctions of literals drawn from $n$ Boolean variables. The objective is to find an assignment to the variables that…
We show that polynomial codes (and some related codes) used for distributed matrix multiplication are interleaved Reed-Solomon codes and, hence, can be collaboratively decoded. We consider a fault tolerant setup where $t$ worker nodes…
Reed-Solomon (RS) codes have been increasingly adopted by distributed storage systems in place of replication,because they provide the same level of availability with much lower storage overhead. However, a key drawback of those RS-coded…
We study the streaming complexity of the membership problem of 1-turn-Dyck2 and Dyck2 when there are a few errors in the input string. 1-turn-Dyck2 with errors: We prove that there exists a randomized one-pass algorithm that given x checks…
We study the classic NP-Hard problem of finding the maximum $k$-set coverage in the data stream model: given a set system of $m$ sets that are subsets of a universe $\{1,\ldots,n \}$, find the $k$ sets that cover the most number of distinct…
We study channel simulation and distributed matching, two fundamental problems with several applications to machine learning, using a recently introduced generalization of the standard rejection sampling (RS) algorithm known as Ensemble…
We introduce a new computational model for data streams: asymptotically exact streaming algorithms. These algorithms have an approximation ratio that tends to one as the length of the stream goes to infinity while the memory used by the…
Randomized smoothing (RS) is one of the prominent techniques to ensure the correctness of machine learning models, where point-wise robustness certificates can be derived analytically. While RS is well understood for classification, its…
Space efficient algorithms play a central role in dealing with large amount of data. In such settings, one would like to analyse the large data using small amount of "working space". One of the key steps in many algorithms for analysing…
In this work, we give the first algorithms for tolerant testing of nontrivial classes in the active model: estimating the distance of a target function to a hypothesis class C with respect to some arbitrary distribution D, using only a…
In this paper we present distributed testing algorithms of graph properties in the CONGEST-model [Censor-Hillel et al. 2016]. We present one-sided error testing algorithms in the general graph model. We first describe a general procedure…
In this paper we investigate the problem of building a static data structure that represents a string s using space close to its compressed size, and allows fast access to individual characters of s. This type of structures was investigated…
We consider the classic Euclidean $k$-median and $k$-means objective on data streams, where the goal is to provide a $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation to the optimal $k$-median or $k$-means solution, while using as little memory as possible.…
We investigate the problem of maintaining an encoded distributed storage system when some nodes contain adversarial errors. Using the error-correction capabilities that are built into the existing redundancy of the system, we propose a…
