Decision tree algorithms have been among the most popular algorithms for interpretable (transparent) machine learning since the early 1980's. The problem that has plagued decision tree algorithms since their inception is their lack of…
We consider the problem of compactly representing the Depth First Search (DFS) tree of a given undirected or directed graph having $n$ vertices and $m$ edges while supporting various DFS related queries efficiently in the RAM with…
We present a data structure representing a dynamic set S of w-bit integers on a w-bit word RAM. With |S|=n and w > log n and space O(n), we support the following standard operations in O(log n / log w) time: - insert(x) sets S = S + {x}. -…
We describe algorithms for symbolic reasoning about executable models of type systems, supporting three queries intended for designers of type systems. First, we check for type soundness bugs and synthesize a counterexample program if such…
Continuing the recent trend, in this article we design several space-efficient algorithms for two well-known graph search methods. Both these search methods share the same name {\it breadth-depth search} (henceforth {\sf BDS}), although…
We present an implementation and experimental analysis of the deterministic algorithm proposed by Duan et al. (2025) for the Single-Source Shortest Path (SSSP) problem, which achieves the best-known asymptotic upper bound of $O(m \log^{2/3}…
The Binary Search Tree (BST) is average in computer science which supports a compact data structure in memory and oneself even conducts a row of quick algorithms, by which people often apply it in dynamical circumstance. Besides these…
Binary neural networks (BNNs) have been widely adopted to reduce the computational cost and memory storage on edge-computing devices by using one-bit representation for activations and weights. However, as neural networks become…
Suppose we have n keys, n access probabilities for the keys, and n+1 access probabilities for the gaps between the keys. Let h_min(n) be the minimal height of a binary search tree for n keys. We consider the problem to construct an optimal…
We propose a simple modification to the recently proposed compressive binary search. The modification removes an unnecessary and suboptimal factor of log log n from the SNR requirement, making the procedure optimal (up to a small constant).…
We study a document retrieval problem in the new framework where $D$ text documents are organized in a {\em category tree} with a pre-defined number $h$ of categories. This situation occurs e.g. with taxomonic trees in biology or subject…
A priority queue is a fundamental data structure that maintains a dynamic set of (key, priority)-pairs and supports Insert, Delete, ExtractMin and DecreaseKey operations. In the external memory model, the current best priority queue…
High-level triggering is a vital component in many modern particle physics experiments. This paper describes a modification to the standard boosted decision tree (BDT) classifier, the so-called "bonsai" BDT, that has the following important…
We suggest a method for holding a dictionary data structure, which maps keys to values, in the spirit of Bloom Filters. The space requirements of the dictionary we suggest are much smaller than those of a hashtable. We allow storing n keys,…
The performance of a dynamic dictionary is measured mainly by its update time, lookup time, and space consumption. In terms of update time and lookup time there are known constructions that guarantee constant-time operations in the worst…
Filter data structures over-approximate a set of hashable keys, i.e. set membership queries may incorrectly come out positive. A filter with false positive rate $f \in (0,1]$ is known to require $\ge \log_2(1/f)$ bits per key. At least for…
Randomised algorithms often employ methods that can fail and that are retried with independent randomness until they succeed. Randomised data structures therefore often store indices of successful attempts, called seeds. If $n$ such seeds…
Entropy quantifies the number of bits required to store objects under certain given assumptions. While this is a well established concept for strings, in the context of tries the state-of-the-art regarding entropies is less developed. The…
Given a string of length $n$ that is composed of $r$ runs of letters from the alphabet $\{0,1,\ldots,\sigma{-}1\}$ such that $2 \le \sigma \le r$, we describe a data structure that, provided $r \le n / \log^{\omega(1)} n$, stores the string…
Most of the attention in statistical compression is given to the space used by the compressed sequence, a problem completely solved with optimal prefix codes. However, in many applications, the storage space used to represent the prefix…
