The probabilistic-stream model was introduced by Jayram et al. \cite{JKV07}. It is a generalization of the data stream model that is suited to handling ``probabilistic'' data where each item of the stream represents a probability…
We study the classic NP-Hard problem of finding the maximum $k$-set coverage in the data stream model: given a set system of $m$ sets that are subsets of a universe $\{1,\ldots,n \}$, find the $k$ sets that cover the most number of distinct…
We initiate the study of the Interval Selection problem in the (streaming) sliding window model of computation. In this problem, an algorithm receives a potentially infinite stream of intervals on the line, and the objective is to maintain…

For any real number $p > 0$, we nearly completely characterize the space complexity of estimating $\|A\|_p^p = \sum_{i=1}^n \sigma_i^p$ for $n \times n$ matrices $A$ in which each row and each column has $O(1)$ non-zero entries and whose…
Space efficient algorithms play a central role in dealing with large amount of data. In such settings, one would like to analyse the large data using small amount of "working space". One of the key steps in many algorithms for analysing…
The study of parameterized streaming complexity on graph problems was initiated by Fafianie et al. (MFCS'14) and Chitnis et al. (SODA'15 and SODA'16). Simply put, the main goal is to design streaming algorithms for parameterized problems…
Given a stream $x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n$ of items from a Universe $U$ of size poly$(n)$, and a parameter $\epsilon>0$, an item $i\in U$ is said to be an $\ell_2$ heavy hitter if its frequency $f_i$ in the stream is at least $\sqrt{\epsilon F_2}$,…
Parameterized complexity attempts to give a more fine-grained analysis of the complexity of problems: instead of measuring the running time as a function of only the input size, we analyze the running time with respect to additional…
We introduce a new computational model for data streams: asymptotically exact streaming algorithms. These algorithms have an approximation ratio that tends to one as the length of the stream goes to infinity while the memory used by the…
We study high-dimensional robust statistics tasks in the streaming model. A recent line of work obtained computationally efficient algorithms for a range of high-dimensional robust estimation tasks. Unfortunately, all previous algorithms…
We study a discrete convolution streaming problem. An input arrives as a stream of numbers $z = (z_0,z_1,z_2,\ldots)$, and at time $t$ our goal is to output $(Tz)_t$ where $T$ is a lower-triangular Toeplitz matrix. We focus on space…
Given a finite set of points $P \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, we would like to find a small subset $S \subseteq P$ such that the convex hull of $S$ approximately contains $P$. More formally, every point in $P$ is within distance $\epsilon$ from…

Clustering is a fundamental tool for analyzing large data sets. A rich body of work has been devoted to designing data-stream algorithms for the relevant optimization problems such as $k$-center, $k$-median, and $k$-means. Such algorithms…
For each $p \in (0,2]$, we present a randomized algorithm that returns an $\epsilon$-approximation of the $p$th frequency moment of a data stream $F_p = \sum_{i = 1}^n \abs{f_i}^p$. The algorithm requires space $O(\epsilon^{-2} \log…
