Deep Learning models have enabled state-of-the-art results across a broad range of applications; however, training these models is extremely time- and resource-intensive, taking weeks on clusters with thousands of expensive accelerators in the extreme case.

Modern applications in many domains now operate on high-speed streaming graphs that continuously evolve at high rates. Efficient querying of these streaming graphs is a crucial task for applications that monitor complex patterns and relationships.

It is not uncommon to think of computer graphics and computer vision as loosely disconnected disciplines; the former dealing with the synthesis of visual phenomena and the latter with analysis. However, recent advances in deep learning have blurred the boundary between the two. As a consequence, the research path to develop algorithms that effectively interpret the 3D scene “behind” an image has never seemed so well within reach.

This thesis considers the study of data structures from the perspective of the theoretician, with a focus on simplicity and practicality. We consider both the time complexity as well as space usage of proposed solutions. Topics discussed fall in three main categories: partial order representation, range modes, and graph cuts.
