We consider the classic Euclidean $k$-median and $k$-means objective on data streams, where the goal is to provide a $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation to the optimal $k$-median or $k$-means solution, while using as little memory as possible.…

We present data streaming algorithms for the $k$-median problem in high-dimensional dynamic geometric data streams, i.e. streams allowing both insertions and deletions of points from a discrete Euclidean space $\{1, 2, \ldots \Delta\}^d$.…
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 $\epsilon > 0$,…

We study the problem of enforcing continuous group fairness over windows in data streams. We propose a novel fairness model that ensures group fairness at a finer granularity level (referred to as block) within each sliding window. This…
We study subset selection for matrices defined as follows: given a matrix $\matX \in \R^{n \times m}$ ($m > n$) and an oversampling parameter $k$ ($n \le k \le m$), select a subset of $k$ columns from $\matX$ such that the pseudo-inverse of…
In many emerging applications, data streams are monitored in a network environment. Due to limited communication bandwidth and other resource constraints, a critical and practical demand is to online compress data streams continuously with…
Given a collection of $m$ sets from a universe $\mathcal{U}$, the Maximum Set Coverage problem consists of finding $k$ sets whose union has largest cardinality. This problem is NP-Hard, but the solution can be approximated by a polynomial…
We study the maximum matching problem in the random-order semi-streaming setting. In this problem, the edges of an arbitrary $n$-vertex graph $G=(V, E)$ arrive in a stream one by one and in a random order. The goal is to have a single pass…
Given an $n$-point metric space $(\mathcal{X},d)$ where each point belongs to one of $m=O(1)$ different categories or groups and a set of integers $k_1, \ldots, k_m$, the fair Max-Min diversification problem is to select $k_i$ points…
