This work is motivated by the problem of error correction in bit-shift channels with the so-called $ (d,k) $ input constraints (where successive $ 1 $'s are required to be separated by at least $ d $ and at most $ k $ zeros, $ 0 \leq d < k…
In this paper, we introduce a new model for sublinear algorithms called \emph{dynamic sketching}. In this model, the underlying data is partitioned into a large \emph{static} part and a small \emph{dynamic} part and the goal is to compute a…
In all state-of-the-art sketching and coreset techniques for clustering, as well as in the best known fixed-parameter tractable approximation algorithms, randomness plays a key role. For the classic $k$-median and $k$-means problems, there…
In this paper we define a new problem, motivated by computational biology, $LCSk$ aiming at finding the maximal number of $k$ length $substrings$, matching in both input strings while preserving their order of appearance. The traditional…
Matrix sketching is a powerful tool for reducing the size of large data matrices. Yet there are fundamental limitations to this size reduction when we want to recover an accurate estimator for a task such as least square regression. We show…
Motivated by real-life deployments of multi-round federated analytics with secure aggregation, we investigate the fundamental communication-accuracy tradeoffs of the heavy hitter discovery and approximate (open-domain) histogram problems…
A sketch is a probabilistic data structure used to record frequencies of items in a multi-set. Sketches are widely used in various fields, especially those that involve processing and storing data streams. In streaming applications with…
Suppose that we have two parties that possess each a binary string. Suppose that the length of the first string (document) is $n$ and that the two strings (documents) have edit distance (minimal number of deletes, inserts and substitutions…
To approximate sums of values in key-value data streams, sketches are widely used in databases and networking systems. They offer high-confidence approximations for any given key while ensuring low time and space overhead. While existing…
In this work, we address the problem of approximate pattern matching with wildcards. Given a pattern $P$ of length $m$ containing $D$ wildcards, a text $T$ of length $n$, and an integer $k$, our objective is to identify all fragments of $T$…
We develop an algorithm for estimating the values of a vector x in R^n over a support S of size k from a randomized sparse binary linear sketch Ax of size O(k). Given Ax and S, we can recover x' with ||x' - x_S||_2 <= eps ||x - x_S||_2 with…
We study the problem of approximating the edit distance of two strings in sublinear time, in a setting where one or both string(s) are preprocessed, as initiated by Goldenberg, Rubinstein, Saha (STOC '20). Specifically, in the $(k, K)$-gap…
We consider the problem of querying a string (or, a database) of length $N$ bits to determine all the locations where a substring (query) of length $M$ appears either exactly or is within a Hamming distance of $K$ from the query. We assume…
Recent advancement of the WWW, IOT, social network, e-commerce, etc. have generated a large volume of data. These datasets are mostly represented by high dimensional and sparse datasets. Many fundamental subroutines of common data analytic…
Modern data stream applications demand memory-efficient solutions for accurately tracking frequent items, such as heavy hitters and heavy changers, under strict resource constraints. Traditional sketches face inherent accuracy-memory…
In this work, we present a dimensionality reduction algorithm, aka. sketching, for categorical datasets. Our proposed sketching algorithm Cabin constructs low-dimensional binary sketches from high-dimensional categorical vectors, and our…
Longest Common Substring (LCS) is an important text processing problem, which has recently been investigated in the quantum query model. The decisional version of this problem, LCS with threshold $d$, asks whether two length-$n$ input…
We study the communication complexity and streaming complexity of approximating unweighted semi-matchings. A semi-matching in a bipartite graph G = (A, B, E), with n = |A|, is a subset of edges S that matches all A vertices to B vertices…
We consider the standard message passing model; we assume the system is fully synchronous: all processes start at the same time and time proceeds in synchronised rounds. In each round each vertex can transmit a different message of size…
Sketching has emerged as a powerful technique for speeding up problems in numerical linear algebra, such as regression. In the overconstrained regression problem, one is given an $n \times d$ matrix $A$, with $n \gg d$, as well as an $n…
