A "sketch" is a data structure supporting some pre-specified set of queries and updates to a database while consuming space substantially (often exponentially) less than the information theoretic minimum required to store everything seen. Thus sketching can be seen as some form of functional compression. The advantages of sketching include reduced memory consumption, faster algorithms, and reduced bandwidth requirements in distributed computing environments.
Sketching has been a core technique in several domains, including processing massive data streams with low memory...

Abstract: My laboratory combines mechanics, medicine, and technology to solve clinical problems with medical devices. In this talk, I will describe our work on two clinically relevant problems of 1) measuring dynamic movements in the lung using the camera image of a bronchoscope, and 2) measuring dynamic impact to the head using an instrumented mouthguard. The ultimate goal in the lung is to... Read more about BioE - "Measurement and control of dynamic anatomy in the lung and brain with smart medical devices"
