If you are a fan of set theory, you might agree there are two sets of people who write computer programs: those who know what a Bloom filter is and those who don’t. How could you efficiently test to ...

Bloom filters are an essential class of probabilistic data structures designed for rapid set membership testing while minimising memory usage. By utilising multiple hash functions, these structures ...

Perhaps the most obvious way to build a spell checker is by simply looking up each word in a dictionary. With modern hardware this wouldn’t be too hard, but disks in the ’70s were extremely slow and ...

Gary Illyes from Google was asked why is the filtered data higher than the overall data within Google Search Console? In which Gary explained how the filter works - specifically - it uses a "Bloom ...

Traditional algorithms power complicated computational tools like machine learning. A new approach, called algorithms with predictions, uses the power of machine learning to improve algorithms.
