The average-case complexity of counting distinct elements
We continue the study of approximating the number of distinct elements in a data stream of length n to within a (1? ) factor. It is known that if the stream may consist of arbitra...

Lower bounds for randomized read/write stream algorithms
Motivated by the capabilities of modern storage architectures, we consider the following generalization of the data stream model where the algorithm has sequential access to multi...

Lower Bounds and Hardness Amplification for Learning Shallow Monotone Formulas
Much work has been done on learning various classes of "simple" monotone functions under the uniform distribution. In this paper we give the first unconditional lower bo...

Space-optimal heavy hitters with strong error bounds
The problem of finding heavy hitters and approximating the frequencies of items is at the heart of many problems in data stream analysis. It has been observed that several propose...
