New upper and lower bounds on approximate countingExtroverted Sublinear Algorithms 20242024-06-17
Proves tight upper and lower bounds for Morris-style approximate counters, replacing the old log 1/δ failure-term by a log-log 1/δ dependence and showing this…

Generalized Private Selection and Testing with High ConfidenceITCS 20232023-01-10
A unified framework produces a private selection algorithm that attains 2 + o(1) pure DP selection from arbitrarily many epsilon‑DP candidates by randomized…

Private Counting of Distinct and k-Occurring Items in Time WindowsITCS 20232023-01-10
Paper gives private algorithms for counting distinct and k-occurring items over time windows by reducing these queries to differentially private range queries…

Sketching High-Dimensional DataProbability, Geometry, and Computation in High Dimensions Boot Camp (Simons Institute, Fall 2020)2020-08-19
Estimator uses the minimum hashed value of each distinct item (returning 1/X−1), then reduces variance by averaging R independent copies (R ≈ O(1/ε^2)) and…

Sketching High-Dimensional DataProbability, Geometry, and Computation in High Dimensions Boot Camp (Simons Institute, Fall 2020)2020-08-19
Optimal space for one plus epsilon distinct counting is 1/ε^2 log(1/δ)+log n, and both lower and upper bounds are given; deterministic exact algorithms require…

Sketching High-Dimensional DataProbability, Geometry, and Computation in High Dimensions Boot Camp (Simons Institute, Fall 2020)2020-08-19
Linear sketches estimate norms and heavy hitters with concrete bounds: AMS sketch uses m = Θ(ε^{-2}) rows and O(ε^{-2} log(1/δ)) words to get 1+ε L2 estimates…

Sketching High-Dimensional DataProbability, Geometry, and Computation in High Dimensions Boot Camp (Simons Institute, Fall 2020)2020-08-19
Johnson–Lindenstrauss embedding requires m = O(ε^{-2} log n) and is information-theoretically tight; practical work replaces dense Gaussian maps with faster or…

Dimensionality Reduction Via Sparse MatricesWorkshop on Succinct Data Representations and Applications (Simons Institute Big Data 2013)2013-09-16
Shows sparse Johnson–Lindenstrauss matrices that embed N points to m = O(ε^{-2} log N) rows while reducing per-column nonzeros s by an Θ(ε) factor versus prior…
