Robin Hood hashing is a variation on open addressing hashing designed to reduce the maximum search time as well as the variance in the search time for elements in the hash table. While the case of insertions only using Robin Hood hashing is…
Weighted Hamming distance, as a similarity measure between binary codes and binary queries, provides superior accuracy in search tasks than Hamming distance. However, how to efficiently and accurately find $K$ binary codes that have the…
In any caching system, the admission and eviction policies determine which contents are added and removed from a cache when a miss occurs. Usually, these policies are devised so as to mitigate staleness and increase the hit probability.…
A hash function is constructed based on a three-layer neural network. The three neuron-layers are used to realize data confusion, diffusion and compression respectively, and the multi-block hash mode is presented to support the plaintext…
Hyperplane hashing aims at rapidly searching nearest points to a hyperplane, and has shown practical impact in scaling up active learning with SVMs. Unfortunately, the existing randomized methods need long hash codes to achieve reasonable…
Supervised hashing aims to map the original features to compact binary codes that are able to preserve label based similarity in the Hamming space. Non-linear hash functions have demonstrated the advantage over linear ones due to their…
We give a (strongly) history-independent two-choice balls-and-bins algorithm on $n$ bins that supports both insertions and deletions on a set of up to $m$ balls, while guaranteeing a maximum load of $m / n + O(1)$ with high probability, and…
Perfect hash functions give unique "names" to arbitrary keys requiring only a few bits per key. This is an essential building block in applications like static hash tables, databases, or bioinformatics. This paper introduces the PHast…
In this paper, the author proposes a series of multilevel double hashing schemes called cascade hash tables. They use several levels of hash tables. In each table, we use the common double hashing scheme. Higher level hash tables work as…

Let $S\subseteq F_2^u$ have size $n=2^\ell$, and let $h:F_2^u\to F_2^\ell$ be a uniformly random linear map. For $y\in F_2^\ell$, write $Load_h(y):=|h^{-1}(y)\cap S|$, and let $M(S,h):=\max_{y\in F_2^\ell} Load_h(y)$ be the maximum load.…
This paper describes a generic algorithm for concurrent resizing and on-demand per-bucket rehashing for an extensible hash table. In contrast to known lock-based hash table algorithms, the proposed algorithm separates the resizing and…
Although cuckoo hashing has significant applications in both theoretical and practical settings, a relevant downside is that it requires lookups to multiple locations. In many settings, where lookups are expensive, cuckoo hashing becomes a…
These notes describe the most efficient hash functions currently known for hashing integers and strings. These modern hash functions are often an order of magnitude faster than those presented in standard text books. They are also simpler…
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…
Hash tables are one of the most fundamental data structures in computer science, in both theory and practice. They are especially useful in external memory, where their query performance approaches the ideal cost of just one disk access.…
We consider the hash function $h(x) = ((ax+b) \bmod p) \bmod n$ where $a,b$ are chosen uniformly at random from $\{0,1,\ldots,p-1\}$. We prove that when we use $h(x)$ in hashing with chaining to insert $n$ elements into a table of size $n$…
