We investigate the adversarial robustness of streaming algorithms. In this context, an algorithm is considered robust if its performance guarantees hold even if the stream is chosen adaptively by an adversary that observes the outputs of…
Transferring knowledge across many streaming processes remains an uncharted territory in the existing literature and features unique characteristics: no labelled instance of the target domain, covariate shift of source and target domain,…
Distributed deep learning (DDL) training systems are designed for cloud and data-center environments that assumes homogeneous compute resources, high network bandwidth, sufficient memory and storage, as well as independent and identically…
We consider several estimation and learning problems that networked agents face when making decisions given their uncertainty about an unknown variable. Our methods are designed to efficiently deal with heterogeneity in both size and…

Learning classifiers from imbalanced and concept drifting data streams is still a challenge. Most of the current proposals focus on taking into account changes in the global imbalance ratio only and ignore the local difficulty factors, such…
We focus on the robustness of neural networks for classification. To permit a fair comparison between methods to achieve robustness, we first introduce a standard based on the mensuration of a classifier's degradation. Then, we propose…
This paper proposes a novel perspective on learning, positing it as the pursuit of dynamical invariants -- data combinations that remain constant or exhibit minimal change over time as a system evolves. This concept is underpinned by both…
An ever increasing volume of data is nowadays becoming available in a streaming manner in many application areas, such as, in critical infrastructure systems, finance and banking, security and crime and web analytics. To meet this new…
Capturing both the structural and temporal aspects of interactions is crucial for many real world datasets like contact between individuals. Using the link stream formalism to capture the dynamic of the systems, we tackle the issue of…
In this paper we study how to perform distinct sampling in the streaming model where data contain near-duplicates. The goal of distinct sampling is to return a distinct element uniformly at random from the universe of elements, given that…

Generative flow networks (GFlowNets) are a family of algorithms that learn a generative policy to sample discrete objects $x$ with non-negative reward $R(x)$. Learning objectives guarantee the GFlowNet samples $x$ from the target…
We consider the problem of detecting a few targets among a large number of hierarchical data streams. The data streams are modeled as random processes with unknown and potentially heavy-tailed distributions. The objective is an active…
We study distribution testing in the standard access model and the conditional access model when the memory available to the testing algorithm is bounded. In both scenarios, the samples appear in an online fashion and the goal is to test…
Networks are a natural representation of complex systems across the sciences, and higher-order dependencies are central to the understanding and modeling of these systems. However, in many practical applications such as online social…
Applications that learn from opinionated documents, like tweets or product reviews, face two challenges. First, the opinionated documents constitute an evolving stream, where both the author's attitude and the vocabulary itself may change.…
