In this work, we present a combinatorial, deterministic single-pass streaming algorithm for the problem of maximizing a submodular function, not necessarily monotone, with respect to a cardinality constraint (SMCC). In the case the function…

The sliding window model generalizes the standard streaming model and often performs better in applications where recent data is more important or more accurate than data that arrived prior to a certain time. We study the problem of…

In the approximate quantiles problem, the goal is to output $m$ quantile estimates, the ranks of which are as close as possible to $m$ given quantiles $0 \leq q_1 \leq\dots \leq q_m \leq 1$. We present a mechanism for approximate quantiles…
