Online social post streams such as Twitter timelines and forum discussions have emerged as important channels for information dissemination. They are noisy, informal, and surge quickly. Real life events, which may happen and evolve every…
A streaming algorithm to compute the spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD) of stationary random processes is presented. As new data becomes available, an incremental update of the truncated eigenbasis of the estimated…
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 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 consider the problem of tracking with small relative error an integer function $f(n)$ defined by a distributed update stream $f'(n)$. Existing streaming algorithms with worst-case guarantees for this problem assume $f(n)$ to be monotone;…
A streaming model is one where data items arrive over long period of time, either one item at a time or in bursts. Typical tasks include computing various statistics over a sliding window of some fixed time-horizon. What makes the streaming…
We present two deterministic dynamic algorithms for the maximum matching problem. (1) An algorithm that maintains a $(2+\epsilon)$-approximate maximum matching in general graphs with $O(\text{poly}(\log n, 1/\epsilon))$ update time. (2) An…
In this paper, we study the problem of finding a maximum matching in the semi-streaming model when edges arrive in a random order. In the semi-streaming model, an algorithm receives a stream of edges and it is allowed to have a memory of…
The edit distance (ED) and longest common subsequence (LCS) are two fundamental problems which quantify how similar two strings are to one another. In this paper, we consider these problems in the asymmetric streaming model introduced by…

Considerable effort has been devoted to the development of streaming algorithms for analyzing massive graphs. Unfortunately, many results have been negative, establishing that a wide variety of problems require $\Omega(n^2)$ space to solve.…
An old and fundamental problem in databases and data streams is that of finding the heavy hitters, also known as the top-$k$, most popular items, frequent items, elephants, or iceberg queries. There are several variants of this problem,…
We study the problem of approximately simulating a $t$-step random walk on a graph where the input edges come from a single-pass stream. The straightforward algorithm using reservoir sampling needs $O(nt)$ words of memory. We show that this…
In this work, we study a status update system with a source node sending timely information to the destination through a channel with random delay. We measure the timeliness of the information stored at the receiver via the Age of…

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…
The sliding window model generalizes the standard streaming model and often performs better in applications where recent data is more important or more accurate than data that arrived prior to a certain time. We study the problem of…
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…
