The massive volume of Data generated in modern applications can overwhelm our ability to conveniently transmit, store, and index it.
This comprehensive introduction to Data summarization, aimed at practitioners and students, showcases the algorithms, their behavior, and the mathematical underpinnings of thei.
For many scenarios, building a compact summary of a dataset that is vastly smaller enables flexibility and efficiency in a range of queries over the data, in exchange for some approximation.
