We study the problem of estimating the number of triangles in a graph stream. No streaming algorithm can get sublinear space on all graphs, so methods in this area bound the space in terms of parameters of the input graph such as the…

The turnstile data stream model offers the most flexible framework where data can be manipulated dynamically, i.e., rows, columns, and even single entries of an input matrix can be added, deleted, or updated multiple times in a data stream.…

We propose a procedure to reconstruct characteristic features of an unknown stochastic system from the long-time full counting statistics of some of the system's transitions that are monitored by a detector. The full counting statistics is…

Given a vector $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ induced by a turnstile stream $S$, a non-negative function $G: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$, a perfect $G$-sampler outputs an index $i$ with probability $\frac{G(x_i)}{\sum_{j\in[n]}…
