We study the problem of approximating the value of a Unique Game instance in the streaming model. A simple count of the number of constraints divided by $p$, the alphabet size of the Unique Game, gives a trivial $p$-approximation that can…
Adversarially robust streaming algorithms are required to process a stream of elements and produce correct outputs, even when each stream element can be chosen as a function of earlier algorithm outputs. As with classic streaming…
We study the maximum constraint satisfaction problem, Max-CSP, in the streaming setting. Given $n$ variables, the constraints arrive sequentially in an arbitrary order, with each constraint involving only a small subset of the variables.…
The metric $k$-median problem is a textbook clustering problem. As input, we are given a metric space $V$ of size $n$ and an integer $k$, and our task is to find a subset $S \subseteq V$ of at most $k$ `centers' that minimizes the total…
We study the maximum matching problem in the random-order semi-streaming setting. In this problem, the edges of an arbitrary $n$-vertex graph $G=(V, E)$ arrive in a stream one by one and in a random order. The goal is to have a single pass…
We initiate the investigation of the parameterized complexity of Diameter and Connectivity in the streaming paradigm. On the positive end, we show that knowing a vertex cover of size $k$ allows for algorithms in the Adjacency List (AL)…
We show that both clustering and subspace embeddings can be performed in the streaming model with the same asymptotic efficiency as in the central/offline setting. For $(k, z)$-clustering in the streaming model, we achieve a number of words…
In the Palindrome Problem one tries to find all palindromes (palindromic substrings) in a given string. A palindrome is defined as a string which reads forwards the same as backwards, e.g., the string "racecar". A related problem is the…
Many real-world applications pose challenges in incorporating fairness constraints into the $k$-center clustering problem, where the dataset consists of $m$ demographic groups, each with a specified upper bound on the number of centers to…
Depth first search is a fundamental graph problem having a wide range of applications. For a graph $G=(V,E)$ having $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the DFS tree can be computed in $O(m+n)$ using $O(m)$ space where $m=O(n^2)$. In the streaming…
Analyzing patterns in data streams generated by network traffic, sensor networks, or satellite feeds is a challenge for systems in which the available storage is limited. In addition, real data is noisy, which makes designing data stream…
We investigate the problem of deterministic pattern matching in multiple streams. In this model, one symbol arrives at a time and is associated with one of s streaming texts. The task at each time step is to report if there is a new match…
In this paper we study graph problems in dynamic streaming model, where the input is defined by a sequence of edge insertions and deletions. As many natural problems require $\Omega(n)$ space, where $n$ is the number of vertices, existing…
The text-to-pattern Hamming distances problem asks to compute the Hamming distances between a given pattern of length $m$ and all length-$m$ substrings of a given text of length $n\ge m$. We focus on the $k$-mismatch version of the problem,…
Recent progress in (semi-)streaming algorithms for monotone submodular function maximization has led to tight results for a simple cardinality constraint. However, current techniques fail to give a similar understanding for natural…
For the constrained 2-means problem, we present a $O\left(dn+d({1\over\epsilon})^{O({1\over \epsilon})}\log n\right)$ time algorithm. It generates a collection $U$ of approximate center pairs $(c_1, c_2)$ such that one of pairs in $U$ can…
In the Max-Cut problem in the streaming model, an algorithm is given the edges of an unknown graph $G = (V,E)$ in some fixed order, and its goal is to approximate the size of the largest cut in $G$. Improving upon an earlier result of…
Estimating the second frequency moment $F_2$ of a data stream up to a $(1 \pm \varepsilon)$ factor is a central problem in the streaming literature. For errors $\varepsilon > \Omega(1/\sqrt{n})$, the tight bound…
We present parameterized streaming algorithms for the graph matching problem in both the dynamic and the insert-only models. For the dynamic streaming model, we present a one-pass algorithm that, with high probability, computes a…
