Privacy is a central challenge for systems that learn from sensitive data sets, especially when a system's outputs must be continuously updated to reflect changing data. We consider the achievable error for differentially private continual…
Two prevalent models in the data stream literature are the insertion-only and turnstile models. Unfortunately, many important streaming problems require a $\Theta(\log(n))$ multiplicative factor more space for turnstile streams than for…
We present the first feasible method for sampling a dynamic data stream with deletions, where the sample consists of pairs $(k,C_k)$ of a value $k$ and its exact total count $C_k$. Our algorithms are for both Strict Turnstile data streams…

Estimating the number of subgraphs in data streams is a fundamental problem that has received great attention in the past decade. In this paper, we give improved streaming algorithms for approximately counting the number of occurrences of…
In the turnstile streaming model, a dynamic vector $\mathbf{x}=(\mathbf{x}_1,\ldots,\mathbf{x}_n)\in \mathbb{Z}^n$ is updated by a stream of entry-wise increments/decrements. Let $f\colon\mathbb{Z}\to \mathbb{R}_+$ be a symmetric function…
Estimating the number of distinct elements in a data stream is well understood when repeated elements are identical. In modern settings, however, observations are high-dimensional and noisy, so repeated instances of the same object are only…
We study differentially-private statistics in the fully dynamic continual observation model, where many updates can arrive at each time step and updates to a stream can involve both insertions and deletions of an item. Earlier work (e.g.,…
We analyze here in details the probability to find a given number of particles in a finite volume inside a normal or superfluid finite system. This probability, also known as counting statistics, is obtained using projection operator…

Counting is among the most fundamental operations in computing. For example, counting the pth frequency moment has been a very active area of research, in theoretical computer science, databases, and data mining. When p=1, the task (i.e.,…
We study differentially private continual release of the number of distinct items in a turnstile stream, where items may be both inserted and deleted. A recent work of Jain, Kalemaj, Raskhodnikova, Sivakumar, and Smith (NeurIPS '23) shows…
Constraint satisfaction problems (CSP's) and data stream models are two powerful abstractions to capture a wide variety of problems arising in different domains of computer science. Developments in the two communities have mostly occurred…
A technique introduced by Indyk and Woodruff [STOC 2005] has inspired several recent advances in data-stream algorithms. We show that a number of these results follow easily from the application of a single probabilistic method called…
We present a differentially private mechanism to display statistics (e.g., the moving average) of a stream of real valued observations where the bound on each observation is either too conservative or unknown in advance. This is…
