We initiate a broad study of classical problems in the streaming model with insertions and deletions in the setting where we allow the approximation factor $\alpha$ to be much larger than $1$. Such algorithms can use significantly less…
In many problems in data mining and machine learning, data items that need to be clustered or classified are not points in a high-dimensional space, but are distributions (points on a high dimensional simplex). For distributions, natural…
We consider the \textsf{Unit Interval Selection} problem in the one-pass random order streaming model. Here, an algorithm is presented a sequence of $n$ unit-length intervals on the line that arrive in uniform random order, and the…

When rows of an $n \times d$ matrix $A$ are given in a stream, we study algorithms for approximating the top eigenvector of the matrix ${A}^TA$ (equivalently, the top right singular vector of $A$). We consider worst case inputs $A$ but…
A central problem in data streams is to characterize which functions of an underlying frequency vector can be approximated efficiently. Recently there has been considerable effort in extending this problem to that of estimating functions of…
In the real world, data streams are ubiquitous -- think of network traffic or sensor data. Mining patterns, e.g., outliers or clusters, from such data must take place in real time. This is challenging because (1) streams often have high…
