The problem of fast items retrieval from a fixed collection is often encountered in most computer science areas, from operating system components to databases and user interfaces. We present an approach based on hash tables that focuses on…
This paper proposes round-hashing, which is suitable for data storage on distributed servers and for implementing external-memory tables in which each lookup retrieves at most a single block of external memory, using a stash. For data…

Minwise hashing is a fundamental and one of the most successful hashing algorithm in the literature. Recent advances based on the idea of densification~\cite{Proc:OneHashLSH_ICML14,Proc:Shrivastava_UAI14} have shown that it is possible to…
We introduce PaCHash, a hash table that stores its objects contiguously in an array without intervening space, even if the objects have variable size. In particular, each object can be compressed using standard compression techniques. A…
While separate chaining is a common strategy for resolving collisions in a hash table taught in most textbooks, compact hashing is a less common technique for saving space when hashing integers whose domain is relatively small with respect…
Random hashing can provide guarantees regarding the performance of data structures such as hash tables---even in an adversarial setting. Many existing families of hash functions are universal: given two data objects, the probability that…
A minimal perfect hash function bijectively maps a key set $S$ out of a universe $U$ into the first $|S|$ natural numbers. Minimal perfect hash functions are used, for example, to map irregularly-shaped keys, such as string, in a compact…
With double hashing, for a key $x$, one generates two hash values $f(x)$ and $g(x)$, and then uses combinations $(f(x) +i g(x)) \bmod n$ for $i=0,1,2,...$ to generate multiple hash values in the range $[0,n-1]$ from the initial two. For…
Hashing has emerged as a popular technique for large-scale similarity search. Most learning-based hashing methods generate compact yet correlated hash codes. However, this redundancy is storage-inefficient. Hence we propose a lossless…
This paper proposed a storing approach for trie structures, called coordinate hash trie. The basic idea is using a global hash table with a special hash function to store all edges of a trie. For a trie with $n$ nodes and an alphabet with…
Research on nearest-neighbor methods tends to focus somewhat dichotomously either on the statistical or the computational aspects -- either on, say, Bayes consistency and rates of convergence or on techniques for speeding up the proximity…
We present an approach for efficiently taking snapshots of the state of a collection of CAS objects. Taking a snapshot allows later operations to read the value that each CAS object had at the time the snapshot was taken. Taking a snapshot…
