An optimal algorithm for the distinct elements problem

DM Kane, J Nelson, DP Woodruff - Proceedings of the twenty-ninth ACM …, 2010 - dl.acm.org
We give the first optimal algorithm for estimating the number of distinct elements in a data
stream, closing a long line of theoretical research on this problem begun by Flajolet and …

A framework for adversarially robust streaming algorithms

O Ben-Eliezer, R Jayaram, DP Woodruff… - ACM Journal of the ACM …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We investigate the adversarial robustness of streaming algorithms. In this context, an
algorithm is considered robust if its performance guarantees hold even if the stream is …

Low rank approximation with entrywise l1-norm error

Z Song, DP Woodruff, P Zhong - Proceedings of the 49th Annual ACM …, 2017 - dl.acm.org
We study the ℓ1-low rank approximation problem, where for a given nxd matrix A and

Tight bounds for lp samplers, finding duplicates in streams, and related problems

H Jowhari, M Sağlam, G Tardos - … of the thirtieth ACM SIGMOD-SIGACT …, 2011 - dl.acm.org
In this paper, we present near-optimal space bounds for Lp-samplers. Given a stream of
updates (additions and subtraction) to the coordinates of an underlying vector x in Rn, a …

Tight bounds for adversarially robust streams and sliding windows via difference estimators

DP Woodruff, S Zhou - 2021 IEEE 62nd Annual Symposium on …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In the adversarially robust streaming model, a stream of elements is presented to an
algorithm and is allowed to depend on the output of the algorithm at earlier times during the …

Lower bounds for sparse recovery

KD Ba, P Indyk, E Price, DP Woodruff - Proceedings of the twenty-first annual …, 2010 - SIAM
We consider the following k-sparse recovery problem: design an m× n matrix A, such that for
any signal x, given Ax we can efficiently recover○ satisfying‖ x–○‖ 1≤ C min k-sparse …

An optimal lower bound on the communication complexity of gap-hamming-distance

A Chakrabarti, O Regev - Proceedings of the forty-third annual ACM …, 2011 - dl.acm.org
We prove an optimal Ω (n) lower bound on the randomized communication complexity of the
much-studied Gap-Hamming-Distance problem. As a consequence, we obtain essentially …

Arithmetic sketching

D Boneh, E Boyle, H Corrigan-Gibbs, N Gilboa… - Annual International …, 2023 - Springer
This paper introduces arithmetic sketching, an abstraction of a primitive that several previous
works use to achieve lightweight, low-communication zero-knowledge verification of secret …

Differentially private continual releases of streaming frequency moment estimations

A Epasto, J Mao, AM Medina, V Mirrokni… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
The streaming model of computation is a popular approach for working with large-scale
data. In this setting, there is a stream of items and the goal is to compute the desired …

Optimal sketching for kronecker product regression and low rank approximation

H Diao, R Jayaram, Z Song, W Sun… - Advances in neural …, 2019 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study the Kronecker product regression problem, in which the design matrix is a
Kronecker product of two or more matrices. Formally, given $ A_i\in\R^{n_i\times d_i} $ for …
