Near-Optimal Signal Recovery From Random Projections: Universal Encoding Strategies?

TL;DR: If the objects of interest are sparse in a fixed basis or compressible, then it is possible to reconstruct f to within very high accuracy from a small number of random measurements by solving a simple linear program.

Similarity estimation techniques from rounding algorithms

TL;DR: It is shown that rounding algorithms for LPs and SDPs used in the context of approximation algorithms can be viewed as locality sensitive hashing schemes for several interesting collections of objects.

An improved data stream summary: the count-min sketch and its applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a sublinear space data structure called the countmin sketch for summarizing data streams, which allows fundamental queries in data stream summarization such as point, range, and inner product queries to be approximately answered very quickly; in addition it can be applied to solve several important problems in data streams such as finding quantiles, frequent items, etc.

Gossip-based computation of aggregate information

TL;DR: This paper analyzes the diffusion speed of uniform gossip in the presence of node and link failures, as well as for flooding-based mechanisms, and shows that this diffusion speed is at the heart of the approximation guarantees for all of the above problems.
