Graph analytics attract much attention from both research and industry communities. Due to the linear time complexity, the $k$-core decomposition is widely used in many real-world applications such as biology, social networks, community…

This paper introduces an approach for detecting differences in the first-order structures of spatial point patterns. The proposed approach leverages the kernel mean embedding in a novel way by introducing its approximate version tailored to…

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…

The problem Power Dominating Set (PDS) is motivated by the placement of phasor measurement units to monitor electrical networks. It asks for a minimum set of vertices in a graph that observes all remaining vertices by exhaustively applying…

We give optimal sorting algorithms in the evolving data framework, where an algorithm's input data is changing while the algorithm is executing. In this framework, instead of producing a final output, an algorithm attempts to maintain an…

We study the consistent k-center clustering problem. In this problem, the goal is to maintain a constant factor approximate $k$-center solution during a sequence of $n$ point insertions and deletions while minimizing the recourse, i.e., the…

We present improved upper bounds for the size of relative (p,Epsilon)-approximation for range spaces with the following property: For any (finite) range space projected onto (that is, restricted to) a ground set of size n and for any…

Tree embedding has been a fundamental method in algorithm design with wide applications. We focus on the efficiency of building tree embedding in various computational settings under high-dimensional Euclidean $\mathbb{R}^d$. We devise a…

Let $V$ be any vector space of multivariate degree-$d$ homogeneous polynomials with co-dimension at most $k$, and $S$ be the set of points where all polynomials in $V$ {\em nearly} vanish. We establish a qualitatively optimal upper bound on…

We present a dynamic algorithm for maintaining $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate maximum eigenvector and eigenvalue of a positive semi-definite matrix $A$ undergoing \emph{decreasing} updates, i.e., updates which may only decrease eigenvalues.…

Distributed systems are now both very large and highly dynamic. Peer to peer overlay networks have been proved efficient to cope with this new deal that traditional approaches can no longer accommodate. While the challenge of organizing…

We present an algorithm for computing $F_p$, the $p$th moment of an $n$-dimensional frequency vector of a data stream, for $2 < p < \log (n) $, to within $1\pm \epsilon$ factors, $\epsilon \in [n^{-1/p},1]$ with high constant probability.…

In the Euclidean $k$-center problem in sliding window model, input points are given in a data stream and the goal is to find the $k$ smallest congruent balls whose union covers the $N$ most recent points of the stream. In this model, input…

Regularized empirical risk minimization using kernels and their corresponding reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs) plays an important role in machine learning. However, the actually used kernel often depends on one or on a few…

Rankings play a crucial role in decision-making. However, if minor changes to items significantly alter their rankings, the quality of the decisions being made can be compromised. The stability of ranking is a measure used to assess how…

Let $X$ be a set of $n$ points of norm at most $1$ in the Euclidean space $R^k$, and suppose $\varepsilon>0$. An $\varepsilon$-distance sketch for $X$ is a data structure that, given any two points of $X$ enables one to recover the square…

In this paper we study the Steiner tree problem over a dynamic set of terminals. We consider the model where we are given an $n$-vertex graph $G=(V,E,w)$ with positive real edge weights, and our goal is to maintain a tree which is a good…

When combining data from multiple sources, inconsistent data complicates the production of a coherent result. In this paper, we introduce a new type of constraints called edit rules under a partial key (EPKs). These constraints can model…

Let $\mathcal{O}$ be a set of $k$ orientations in the plane, and let $P$ be a simple polygon in the plane. Given two points $p,q$ inside $P$, we say that $p$ $\mathcal{O}$-\emph{sees} $q$ if there is an $\mathcal{O}$-\emph{staircase}…

Kernel based methods provide a way to reconstruct potentially high-dimensional functions from meshfree samples, i.e., sampling points and corresponding target values. A crucial ingredient for this to be successful is the distribution of the…
