Sublinear computing

Abstract

Denied preprocessing and limited to a tiny fraction of the input, what can a computer hope to do? Surprisingly much, it turn sout. A blizzard of recent results in property testing, streaming, and sublinear approximation algorithms have shown that, for a large class ofproblems, all but a vanishing fraction of the input data is essentially unnecessary. While grounding the discussion on a few specific examples, I will review some of the basic principles at play behind this “sublinearity” phenomenon.
