Modern stream processing systems often need to track the frequency of distinct keys in a data stream in real-time. Since maintaining exact counts can require a prohibitive amount of memory, many applications rely on compact, probabilistic…
Estimating frequencies of items over data streams is a common building block in streaming data measurement and analysis. Misra and Gries introduced their seminal algorithm for the problem in 1982, and the problem has since been revisited…
Estimating the first moment of a data stream defined as $F_1 = \sum_{i \in \{1, 2, \ldots, n\}} \abs{f_i}$ to within $1 \pm \epsilon$-relative error with high probability is a basic and influential problem in data stream processing. A tight…

When delegating computation to a service provider, as in cloud computing, we seek some reassurance that the output is correct and complete. Yet recomputing the output as a check is inefficient and expensive, and it may not even be feasible…
We study $\ell_p$ sampling and frequency moment estimation in a single-pass insertion-only data stream. For $p \in (0,2)$, we present a nearly space-optimal approximate $\ell_p$ sampler that uses $\widetilde{O}(\log n \log(1/\delta))$ bits…
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…

For each $p \in (0,2]$, we present a randomized algorithm that returns an $\epsilon$-approximation of the $p$th frequency moment of a data stream $F_p = \sum_{i = 1}^n \abs{f_i}^p$. The algorithm requires space $O(\epsilon^{-2} \log…
