A minimal perfect hash function (MPHF) maps a set $S$ of $n$ keys to the first $n$ integers without collisions. There is a lower bound of $n\log_2e-O(\log n)$ bits of space needed to represent an MPHF. A matching upper bound is obtained…
Bloom filters (BF) are widely used for approximate membership queries over a set of elements. BF variants allow removals, sets of unbounded size or querying a sliding window over an unbounded stream. However, for this last case the best…

A Bloom filter is a method for reducing the space (memory) required for representing a set by allowing a small error probability. In this paper we consider a \emph{Sliding Bloom Filter}: a data structure that, given a stream of elements,…
Filters are the basic and most important blocks of most signal processing applications. In many applications, a group of parallel filters are used as filter banks. Parallel filter banks naturally require much more computations. Especially…
Bloom filter is a compact memory-efficient probabilistic data structure supporting membership testing, i.e., to check whether an element is in a given set. However, as Bloom filter maps each element with uniformly random hash functions, few…
A retrieval data structure stores a static function f : S -> {0,1}^r . For all x in S, it returns the r-bit value f(x), while for other inputs it may return an arbitrary result. The structure cannot answer membership queries, so it does not…

We aim to speed up approximate keyword matching by storing a lightweight, fixed-size block of data for each string, called a fingerprint. These work in a similar way to hash values; however, they can be also used for matching with errors.…
Given a set $K$ of $n$ keys, a minimal perfect hash function (MPHF) is a collision-free bijective map $\mathsf{H_{mphf}}$ from $K$ to $\{0, \dots, n-1\}$. This work presents a (minimal) perfect hash function that first prioritizes query…

The Bloom filter---or, more generally, an approximate membership query data structure (AMQ)---maintains a compact, probabilistic representation of a set S of keys from a universe U. An AMQ supports lookups, inserts, and (for some AMQs)…
Bloom filters are widely used data structures that compactly represent sets of elements. Querying a Bloom filter reveals if an element is not included in the underlying set or is included with a certain error rate. This membership testing…
