We present a differentially private mechanism to display statistics (e.g., the moving average) of a stream of real valued observations where the bound on each observation is either too conservative or unknown in advance. This is…

A pseudo-deterministic algorithm is a (randomized) algorithm which, when run multiple times on the same input, with high probability outputs the same result on all executions. Classic streaming algorithms, such as those for finding heavy…

We study the problem of differentially private continual counting in the unbounded setting where the input size $n$ is not known in advance. Current state-of-the-art algorithms based on optimal instantiations of the matrix mechanism cannot…

Privately counting distinct elements in a stream is a fundamental data analysis problem with many applications in machine learning. In the turnstile model, Jain et al. [NeurIPS2023] initiated the study of this problem parameterized by the…

In the (deletion-channel) trace reconstruction problem, there is an unknown $n$-bit source string $x$. An algorithm is given access to independent traces of $x$, where a trace is formed by deleting each bit of~$x$ independently with…

We study the general problem of computing frequency-based functions, i.e., the sum of any given function of data stream frequencies. Special cases include fundamental data stream problems such as computing the number of distinct elements…

This paper resolves one of the longest standing basic problems in the streaming computational model. Namely, optimal construction of quantile sketches. An $\varepsilon$ approximate quantile sketch receives a stream of items $x_1,\ldots,x_n$…

In many problems in data mining and machine learning, data items that need to be clustered or classified are not points in a high-dimensional space, but are distributions (points on a high dimensional simplex). For distributions, natural…

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]}…

How much data is needed to optimally schedule distributed energy resources (DERs)? Does the distribution system operator (DSO) have to know load demands at each bus of the feeder to solve an optimal power flow (OPF)? This work exploits…

We introduce a new notion of information complexity for multi-pass streaming problems and use it to resolve several important questions in data streams. In the coin problem, one sees a stream of $n$ i.i.d. uniform bits and one would like to…

In this paper we study the problem of finding $(\epsilon, \phi)$-expander decompositions of a graph in the streaming model, in particular for dynamic streams of edge insertions and deletions. The goal is to partition the vertex set so that…

We present new lower bounds that show that a polynomial number of passes are necessary for solving some fundamental graph problems in the streaming model of computation. For instance, we show that any streaming algorithm that finds a…

We revisit the well-studied problem of triangle count estimation in graph streams. Given a graph represented as a stream of $m$ edges, our aim is to compute a $(1\pm\varepsilon)$-approximation to the triangle count $T$, using a small space…

We consider \textsc{Persistence}, a new online problem concerning optimizing weighted observations in a stream of data when the observer has limited buffer capacity. A stream of weighted items arrive one at a time at the entrance of a…

We identify a sharp separation in the streaming space complexity of Maximum Cut when the algorithm must output an approximate cut (rather than only the approximate value). For dense graphs, we show that $O(n/\varepsilon^2)$ space is…

Adversarially robust streaming algorithms are required to process a stream of elements and produce correct outputs, even when each stream element can be chosen as a function of earlier algorithm outputs. As with classic streaming…

The Basic Counting problem [1] is one of the most fundamental and critical streaming problems of sliding window queries over data streams. Given a stream of 0's and 1's, the purpose of this problem is to estimate the number of 1's in the…

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…

In recent years, the problem of computing the frequencies of the induced $k$-vertex subgraphs of a graph, or \emph{$k$-graphlets}, has become central. One approach for this problem is to sample $k$-graphlets randomly. Classic algorithms for…
