We show a dichotomy result for $p$-pass streaming algorithms for all CSPs and for up to polynomially many passes. More precisely, we prove that for any arity parameter $k$, finite alphabet $\Sigma$, collection $\mathcal{F}$ of $k$-ary…

We study streaming algorithms for the fundamental geometric problem of computing the cost of the Euclidean Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) on an $n$-point set $X \subset \mathbb{R}^d$. In the streaming model, the points in $X$ can be added and…

We study the classic set cover problem in the streaming model: the sets that comprise the instance are revealed one by one in a stream and the goal is to solve the problem by making one or few passes over the stream while maintaining a…

Maximum coverage and minimum set cover problems --collectively called coverage problems-- have been studied extensively in streaming models. However, previous research not only achieve sub-optimal approximation factors and space…

A constraint satisfaction problem (CSP), $\textsf{Max-CSP}(\mathcal{F})$, is specified by a finite set of constraints $\mathcal{F} \subseteq \{[q]^k \to \{0,1\}\}$ for positive integers $q$ and $k$. An instance of the problem on $n$…

We explore a novel problem in streaming submodular maximization, inspired by the dynamics of news-recommendation platforms. We consider a setting where users can visit a news website at any time, and upon each visit, the website must…

We consider maximizing a monotone submodular function under a cardinality constraint or a knapsack constraint in the streaming setting. In particular, the elements arrive sequentially and at any point of time, the algorithm has access to…

Given a set of vectors $X = \{ x_1,\dots, x_n \} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, the Euclidean max-cut problem asks to partition the vectors into two parts so as to maximize the sum of Euclidean distances which cross the partition. We design new…

While the search for quantum advantage typically focuses on speedups in execution time, quantum algorithms also offer the potential for advantage in space complexity. Previous work has shown such advantages for data stream problems, in…

Many streaming algorithms provide only a high-probability relative approximation. These two relaxations, of allowing approximation and randomization, seem necessary -- for many streaming problems, both relaxations must be employed…

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…

One of the oldest problems in the data stream model is to approximate the $p$-th moment $\|\mathcal{X}\|_p^p = \sum_{i=1}^n |\mathcal{X}_i|^p$ of an underlying vector $\mathcal{X} \in \mathbb{R}^n$, which is presented as a sequence of…
