Dynamic Bloom filters (DBF) were proposed by Guo et. al. in 2010 to tackle the situation where the size of the set to be stored compactly is not known in advance or can change during the course of the application. We propose a novel…

Invertible Bloom Filter (IBF) is a data structure, which employs a small set of hash functions. An IBF allows for an efficient insertion and, with high probability, for an efficient extraction of the data. However, the success probability…

Recent work has suggested enhancing Bloom filters by using a pre-filter, based on applying machine learning to determine a function that models the data set the Bloom filter is meant to represent. Here we model such learned Bloom filters,,…

Bloom filters, cuckoo filters, and other approximate set membership sketches have a wide range of applications. Oftentimes, expensive operations can be skipped if an item is not in a data set. These filters provide an inexpensive, memory…
