Sketching and Streaming Entropy via Approximation Theory
We give near-optimal sketching and streaming algorithms for estimating Shannon entropy in the most general streaming model, with arbitrary insertions and deletions. This improves ...

A data streaming algorithm for estimating entropies of od flows
Entropy has recently gained considerable significance as an important metric for network measurement. Previous research has shown its utility in clustering traffic and detecting ...

One sketch for all: Theory and Application of Conditional Random Sampling
Conditional Random Sampling (CRS) was originally proposed for efficiently computing pairwise (l2, l1) distances, in static, large-scale, and sparse data. This study modifies the o...

Periodicity and Cyclic Shifts via Linear Sketches
We consider the problem of identifying periodic trends in data streams. We say a signal a ∈ Rn is p-periodic if ai = ai+p for all i ∈ [n − p]. Recently, Erg¨un et al. [4] pr...

Range counting over multidimensional data streams
We consider the problem of approximate range counting over streams of d-dimensional points. In the data stream model, the algorithm makes a single scan of the data, which is prese...
