Approximate Frequency Counts over Data Streams

Summary: Memory-efficient streaming frequency-count algorithms with provable error bounds for threshold-exceeding items. Handles both singleton-item streams (IP monitoring) and set-valued streams; includes a single-pass, optimized frequent itemset computation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
