An $\varepsilon$-approximate quantile sketch over a stream of $n$ inputs approximates the rank of any query point $q$ - that is, the number of input points less than $q$ - up to an additive error of $\varepsilon n$, generally with some…
We present an algorithm for the maximum matching problem in dynamic (insertion-deletions) streams with *asymptotically optimal* space complexity: for any $n$-vertex graph, our algorithm with high probability outputs an $\alpha$-approximate…
We show that both clustering and subspace embeddings can be performed in the streaming model with the same asymptotic efficiency as in the central/offline setting. For $(k, z)$-clustering in the streaming model, we achieve a number of words…

Finding dense subgraphs is a fundamental algorithmic tool in data mining, community detection, and clustering. In this problem, one aims to find an induced subgraph whose edge-to-vertex ratio is maximized. We study the directed case of this…
The majority of streaming problems are defined and analyzed in a static setting, where the data stream is any worst-case sequence of insertions and deletions that is fixed in advance. However, many real-world applications require a more…

As data volume grows extensively, data profiling helps to extract metadata of large-scale data. However, one kind of metadata, order statistics, is difficult to be computed because they are not mergeable or incremental. Thus, the limitation…
