Title

Analyzing Big Graphs via Sketching and Streami

Speaker

Andrew McGregor, Department of Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Abstract

Early work on data stream algorithms focused on estimating numerical statistics such as quantiles, frequency moments, and heavy hitters given limited memory and a single pass over the input. However, there's now a growing body of work on analyzing more structured data such as graphs. In this talk, we survey research in this area with a focus on recent results on dimensionality reduction via random projections and processing dynamic graphs.
