Simple tabulation dates back to Zobrist in 1970. Keys are viewed as c characters from some alphabet A. We initialize c tables h_0, ..., h_{c-1} mapping characters to random hash values. A key x=(x_0, ..., x_{c-1}) is hashed to h_0[x_0]…

Given a set $S$ of $n$ keys, a perfect hash function for $S$ maps the keys in $S$ to the first $m \geq n$ integers without collisions. It may return an arbitrary result for any key not in $S$ and is called minimal if $m = n$. The most…
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…
Most existing learning to hash methods assume that there are sufficient data, either labeled or unlabeled, on the domain of interest (i.e., the target domain) for training. However, this assumption cannot be satisfied in some real-world…
