TLDR
A data structure for representing a set of n items from a universe of m items, which uses space n+o(n) and accommodates membership queries in constant time and is easy to implement.
Abstract
A data structure for representing a set of n items from a umverse of m items, which uses space n + o(n) and accommodates membership queries m constant time is described. Both the data structure and the query algorithm are easy to ~mplement.

Converting High Probability into Nearly-Constant Time-with Applications to Parallel Hashing (Extended Abstract)

Yossi Matias, +1 more
TL;DR: This work presents a new paradigm for efficient randomized parallel algorithms that needs ~(log’ n) time, where ~(x) means ‘O(Z) expected’, and obtains an optimal integer sorting adgorithm that runs in O( log log n K ) time.

Uniform algorithms for deterministic construction of efficient dictionaries

Milan Ružić
TL;DR: This work presents an improvement in the class of dictionaries free from weak non-uniformity and with stress on faster searches, and various search-update time trade-offs are obtained.

Superbloom: Bloom filter meets Transformer

TL;DR: The idea of word pieces in natural language models is extended to machine learning tasks on opaque ids by applying hash functions to map each id to multiple hash tokens in a much smaller space, similarly to a Bloom filter, and by applying a multi-layer Transformer to these Bloom filter digests, models with high accuracy are obtained.

Should Tables Be Sorted

TL;DR: It is shown that, in a rather general model including al1 the commonly-used schemes, $\lceil $ lg(n+l) $\rceil$ probes to the table are needed in the worst case, provided the key space is sufficiently large.

Storing a sparse table

TL;DR: This work proposes a good worst-case method for storing a static table of n entries, each an integer between 0 and N - 1, and analysis shows why a simpler algorithm used for compressing LR parsing tables works so well.

Perfect hashing functions: a single probe retrieving method for static sets

TL;DR: A refinement of hashing which allows retrieval of an item in a static table with a single probe is considered, and a rough comparison with ordinary hashing is given which shows that this method can be used conveniently in several practical applications.

Reciprocal hashing: a method for generating minimal perfect hashing functions

TL;DR: A method is presented for building minimal perfect hash functions, i.e., functions which allow single probe retrieval from minimally sized tables of identifier sets, and a proof of existence for minimalperfect hash functions of a special type (reciprocal type) is given.
