Synopsis:
In an era where data never sleeps, streaming algorithms offer a powerful toolkit for extracting meaningful insights from high-velocity data flows. This talk explores some foundational techniques that enable efficient, real-time analytics with minimal memory requirements. The algorithms covered include a clever bit-based strategy for approximating the count of 1s in a sliding window, ideal for binary streams where space efficiency is paramount. Another algorithm helps estimate statistical moments (mean, variance, skewness) using compact sketches, enabling a deeper understanding of stream distributions without storing the entire dataset. One other algorithm identifies trending items with exponential decay, giving more weight to recent data, a crucial method for dynamic environments like social media or sensor networks. Techniques like these form the backbone of intelligent stream processing. Through intuitive examples and practical applications, this session will demystify how these algorithms work, why they matter, and how they can be used to monitor, summarize, and react to data in motion.

Dr. Vishnu S. Pendyala of San Jose State University
Biography:
Vishnu S. Pendyala, PhD, is a faculty member in Applied Data Science and an Academic Senator with San Jose State University, current chair of the Santa Clara Valley Chapters of IEEE Computer and Computational Intelligence Societies, Area 4 Coordinator for Region 6, and a Distinguished Contributor of the IEEE Computer Society. As a past ACM Distinguished Speaker, researcher, and industry expert, he gave nearly 100 talks and tutorial sessions in various forums such as faculty development programs, the 12th IEEE GHTC, IEEE ANTS, 12th IACC, 10th ICMC, IUCEE, 12th ACM IKDD CODS and 30th COMAD to audiences at venues such as Stanford University, Google, University of Bolton, Computer History Museum, Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología, Lima, Peru, IIIT Hyderabad, KREA, IIT Jodhpur, University of Hyderabad, IIT Indore, IIIT Bhubaneswar. Some of these talks are available on YouTube and IEEE.tv. He is a senior member of the IEEE and ACM. He has over two decades of experience in the software industry in the Silicon Valley, USA. His book, “Veracity of Big Data,” is available in several libraries, including those of MIT, Stanford, CMU, the US Congress and internationally. Two other books on machine learning and software development that he edited are also well-received and found place in the US Library of Congress and other reputed libraries. Dr. Pendyala taught a one-week course sponsored by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India, under the GIAN program in 2017 to Computer Science faculty from all over the country and delivered the keynote in a similar program sponsored by AICTE, Government of India in 2022. Dr. Pendyala served on a US government's National Science Foundation (NSF) proposal review panel in 2023. He received the Ramanujan memorial gold medal and a shield for his college at the State Math Olympiad. He also played an active role in the Computer Society of India and was the Program Secretary for its annual national convention.
