We study two-pass streaming algorithms for Maximum Bipartite Matching (MBM). All known two-pass streaming algorithms for MBM operate in a similar fashion: They compute a maximal matching in the first pass and find 3-augmenting paths in the…

This paper studies the set cover problem under the semi-streaming model. The underlying set system is formalized in terms of a hypergraph $G = (V, E)$ whose edges arrive one-by-one and the goal is to construct an edge cover $F \subseteq E$…

Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with positive edge lengths and two vertices $s$ and $t$, the next-to-shortest path problem is to find an $st$-path which length is minimum amongst all $st$-paths strictly longer than the shortest path…

Streaming graph partitioners enable resource-efficient and massively scalable partitioning, but one-pass assignment heuristics are highly sensitive to stream order and often yield substantially higher edge cuts than in-memory methods. We…

We present a method for solving the transshipment problem - also known as uncapacitated minimum cost flow - up to a multiplicative error of $1 + \varepsilon$ in undirected graphs with non-negative edge weights using a tailored gradient…

We use exponential start time clustering to design faster and more work-efficient parallel graph algorithms involving distances. Previous algorithms usually rely on graph decomposition routines with strict restrictions on the diameters of…

We propose a streaming submodular maximization algorithm "stream clipper" that performs as well as the offline greedy algorithm on document/video summarization in practice. It adds elements from a stream either to a solution set $S$ or to…

We design and implement two single-pass semi-streaming algorithms for the maximum weight $k$-disjoint matching ($k$-DM) problem. Given an integer $k$, the $k$-DM problem is to find $k$ pairwise edge-disjoint matchings such that the sum of…

Real-world graphs often manifest as a massive temporal stream of edges. The need for real-time analysis of such large graph streams has led to progress on low memory, one-pass streaming graph algorithms. These algorithms were designed for…

We describe a new sampling-based method to determine cuts in an undirected graph. For a graph (V, E), its cycle space is the family of all subsets of E that have even degree at each vertex. We prove that with high probability, sampling the…

We study the maximum weight matching problem in the random-order semi-streaming model and in the robust communication model. Unlike many other sublinear models, in these two frameworks, there is a large gap between the guarantees of the…

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…

For a positive integer $t$ and a graph $G$, an additive $t$-spanner of $G$ is a spanning subgraph in which the distance between every pair of vertices is at most the original distance plus $t$. Minimum Additive $t$-Spanner Problem is to…

Partitioning the vertices of a (hyper)graph into k roughly balanced blocks such that few (hyper)edges run between blocks is a key problem for large-scale distributed processing. A current trend for partitioning huge (hyper)graphs using low…

Given a point set $P$ in the Euclidean space, a geometric $t$-spanner $G$ is a graph on $P$ such that for every pair of points, the shortest path in $G$ between those points is at most a factor $t$ longer than the Euclidean distance between…

Given an undirected $n$-node unweighted graph $G = (V, E)$, a spanner with stretch function $f(\cdot)$ is a subgraph $H\subseteq G$ such that, if two nodes are at distance $d$ in $G$, then they are at distance at most $f(d)$ in $H$.…

Processing large-scale graphs, containing billions of entities, is critical across fields like bioinformatics, high-performance computing, navigation and route planning, among others. Efficient graph partitioning, which divides a graph into…

Algorithms in the data stream model use $O(polylog(N))$ space to compute some property of an input of size $N$, and many of these algorithms are implemented and used in practice. However, sketching algorithms in the graph semi-streaming…

We provide a simple new randomized contraction approach to the global minimum cut problem for simple undirected graphs. The contractions exploit 2-out edge sampling from each vertex rather than the standard uniform edge sampling. We…

Connectivity (or equivalently, unweighted maximum flow) is an important measure in graph theory and combinatorial optimization. Given a graph $G$ with vertices $s$ and $t$, the connectivity $\lambda(s,t)$ from $s$ to $t$ is defined to be…
