We resolve the space complexity of linear sketches for approximating the maximum matching problem in dynamic graph streams where the stream may include both edge insertion and deletion. Specifically, we show that for any $\epsilon > 0$,…

The bin packing problem is to find the minimum number of bins of size one to pack a list of items with sizes $a_1,..., a_n$ in $(0,1]$. Using uniform sampling, which selects a random element from the input list each time, we develop a…

We establish nearly optimal upper and lower bounds for approximating decision tree splits in data streams. For regression with labels in the range $\{0,1,\ldots,M\}$, we give a one-pass algorithm using $\tilde{O}(M^2/\epsilon)$ space that…

We consider the maximum weight $b$-matching problem in the random-order semi-streaming model. Assuming all weights are small integers drawn from $[1,W]$, we present a $2 - \frac{1}{2W} + \varepsilon$ approximation algorithm, using a memory…

We study the conditions under which one is able to efficiently apply variance-reduction and acceleration schemes on finite sum optimization problems. First, we show that, perhaps surprisingly, the finite sum structure by itself, is not…
