Maximizing a monotone submodular function under various constraints is a classical and intensively studied problem. However, in the single-pass streaming model, where the elements arrive one by one and an algorithm can store only a small…
We show that fundamental learning tasks, such as finding an approximate linear separator or linear regression, require memory at least \emph{quadratic} in the dimension, in a natural streaming setting. This implies that such problems cannot…
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…
Frequency estimation in data streams is one of the classical problems in streaming algorithms. Following much research, there are now almost matching upper and lower bounds for the trade-off needed between the number of samples and the…

We study the problem of solving semidefinite programs (SDP) in the streaming model. Specifically, $m$ constraint matrices and a target matrix $C$, all of size $n\times n$ together with a vector $b\in \mathbb{R}^m$ are streamed to us…
We consider the unweighted bipartite maximum matching problem in the one-pass turnstile streaming model where the input stream consists of edge insertions and deletions. In the insertion-only model, a one-pass $2$-approximation streaming…

We revisit the well-studied problem of triangle count estimation in graph streams. Given a graph represented as a stream of $m$ edges, our aim is to compute a $(1\pm\varepsilon)$-approximation to the triangle count $T$, using a small space…
The classic lower bound of Kuhn, Moscibroda and Wattenhofer [JACM 2016] states that approximate maximum matching and approximate vertex cover (among other problems) in the LOCAL model require $\Omega(\min\{\sqrt{\frac{\log n}{\log\log n}},…
In this work, we study the classic submodular maximization problem under knapsack constraints and beyond. We first present an $(7/16-\varepsilon)$-approximate algorithm for single knapsack constraint, which requires…
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…
We initiate a study of the streaming complexity of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) when the constraints arrive in a random order. We show that there exists a CSP, namely $\textsf{Max-DICUT}$, for which random ordering makes a…
We prove tight upper and lower bounds on approximation ratios of all Boolean Max-2CSP problems in the streaming model. Specifically, for every type of Max-2CSP problem, we give an explicit constant $\alpha$, s.t. for any $\epsilon>0$ (i)…
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…
In this work, we revisit the fundamental and well-studied problem of approximate pattern matching under edit distance. Given an integer $k$, a pattern $P$ of length $m$, and a text $T$ of length $n \ge m$, the task is to find substrings of…
Storing a counter incremented $N$ times would naively consume $O(\log N)$ bits of memory. In 1978 Morris described the very first streaming algorithm: the "Morris Counter". His algorithm's space bound is a random variable, and it has been…
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…
