Vladimir Breverman, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Johns Hopkins UniversityAbstract
The streaming model of computation is an important area of theoretical
computer science with many practical applications. In this talk we will define
the streaming model, explain some fundamental streaming methods, survey recent
results and discuss current challenges and open problems. In particular, we
will present new streaming algorithms for frequency-based functions, frequency
moments and k-mean clustering.
