A retrieval data structure for a static function $f:S\rightarrow \{0,1\}^r$ supports queries that return $f(x)$ for any $x \in S$. Retrieval data structures can be used to implement a static approximate membership query data structure…

Low-rank approximation is a common tool used to accelerate kernel methods: the $n \times n$ kernel matrix $K$ is approximated via a rank-$k$ matrix $\tilde K$ which can be stored in much less space and processed more quickly. In this work…

Let s be a string whose symbols are solely available through access(i), a read-only operation that probes s and returns the symbol at position i in s. Many compressed data structures for strings, trees, and graphs, require two kinds of…

We consider the problem of supporting Rank() and Select() operations on a bit vector of length m with n 1 bits. The problem is considered in the succinct index model, where the bit vector is stored in "read-only" memory and an additional…

Given a string $S$ of $n$ integers in $[0,\sigma)$, a range minimum query RMQ$(i, j)$ asks for the index of the smallest integer in $S[i \dots j]$. It is well known that the problem can be solved with a succinct data structure of size $2n +…
