Gives the first turnstile streaming algorithm for maximum coverage with polylog n update time, extends it to targeted and general fingerprinting, and introduces a linear sketch for n^p - F_p (p>=2).
Problem
Maximum coverage and fingerprinting-based re-identification risk measurement over dynamic datasets with insertions and deletions in the turnstile streaming model.
Approach
Adapts the insertion-only subsampling sketch of Bateni et al. into a linear sketch using L0 sketches, CountSketch and multi-level subsampling so that item-subset insertions and deletions are supported with polylog update time; reduces targeted fingerprinting to maximum coverage and general fingerprinting to a submodular framework with a new sketch for n^p - F_p.
Key results
- Targeted fingerprinting speedup of up to 49x over prior implementation with high comparative accuracy.
- General fingerprinting speedup of up to 210x while retaining high accuracy.
- Turnstile maximum coverage sketch uses tilde-O(d/eps^3) space with tilde-O(1) update time and (1-1/e-eps) approximation w.p. 1-1/d.
Measured effects reported in the paper
| What was changed | Where | Measured | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Use the proposed targeted fingerprinting algorithm instead of prior work | Targeted fingerprinting · Targeted fingerprinting | speedup: 49x | Helped |
| Use the proposed general fingerprinting algorithm instead of prior work | General fingerprinting · General fingerprinting | speedup: 210x | Helped |
Limitations
- General fingerprinting space scales as d k^3/eps^2 due to setting gamma = eps/k.
- Results rely on linear sketches and probabilistic guarantees that hold with high probability only.
