In the matroid center problem, which generalizes the $k$-center problem, we need to pick a set of centers that is an independent set of a matroid with rank $r$. We study this problem in streaming, where elements of the ground set arrive in…
We study the communication complexity and streaming complexity of approximating unweighted semi-matchings. A semi-matching in a bipartite graph G = (A, B, E), with n = |A|, is a subset of edges S that matches all A vertices to B vertices…
Finding dense subgraphs is a fundamental algorithmic tool in data mining, community detection, and clustering. In this problem, one aims to find an induced subgraph whose edge-to-vertex ratio is maximized. We study the directed case of this…

In the graph stream model of computation, an algorithm processes the edges of an input graph in one or more sequential passes while using a memory sublinear in the input size. This model poses significant challenges for constructing long…
When facing a very large stream of data, it is often desirable to extract most important statistics online in a short time and using small memory. For example, one may want to quickly find the most influential users generating posts online…

We study the $k$-connectivity augmentation problem ($k$-CAP) in the single-pass streaming model. Given a $(k-1)$-edge connected graph $G=(V,E)$ that is stored in memory, and a stream of weighted edges $L$ with weights in $\{0,1,\dots,W\}$,…
Histograms, i.e., piece-wise constant approximations, are a popular tool used to represent data distributions. Traditionally, the difference between the histogram and the underlying distribution (i.e., the approximation error) is measured…
We study the problem of estimating the number of triangles in a graph stream. No streaming algorithm can get sublinear space on all graphs, so methods in this area bound the space in terms of parameters of the input graph such as the…
The semi-streaming model is a variant of the streaming model frequently used for the computation of graph problems. It allows the edges of an $n$-node input graph to be read sequentially in $p$ passes using $\tilde{O}(n)$ space. In this…
In this work, we study the problem of finding the maximum value of a non-negative submodular function subject to a limit on the number of items selected, a ubiquitous problem that appears in many applications, such as data summarization and…
We present an algorithm for the maximum matching problem in dynamic (insertion-deletions) streams with *asymptotically optimal* space complexity: for any $n$-vertex graph, our algorithm with high probability outputs an $\alpha$-approximate…
We give the first optimal bounds for returning the $\ell_1$-heavy hitters in a data stream of insertions, together with their approximate frequencies, closing a long line of work on this problem. For a stream of $m$ items in $\{1, 2, \dots,…
The streaming model was introduced to parameterized complexity independently by Fafianie and Kratsch [MFCS14] and by Chitnis, Cormode, Hajiaghayi and Monemizadeh [SODA15]. Subsequently, it was broadened by Chitnis, Cormode, Esfandiari,…
Given a data stream $\mathcal{A} = \langle a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_m \rangle$ of $m$ elements where each $a_i \in [n]$, the Distinct Elements problem is to estimate the number of distinct elements in $\mathcal{A}$.Distinct Elements has been a…

Linear subspace models are pervasive in computational sciences and particularly used for large datasets which are often incomplete due to privacy issues or sampling constraints. Therefore, a critical problem is developing an efficient…
For any real number $p > 0$, we nearly completely characterize the space complexity of estimating $\|A\|_p^p = \sum_{i=1}^n \sigma_i^p$ for $n \times n$ matrices $A$ in which each row and each column has $O(1)$ non-zero entries and whose…
