Hash tables are one of the oldest and simplest data structures for storing elements and supporting deletions and queries. Invented in 1953, they underly most computational systems. Yet despite their ...

This is the story of a quest. A story which stems from a stream of failures and some gleams of perseverance, where countless attempts clash with repeated falls, a story which exists because of people ...

Ayyoun is a staff writer who loves all things gaming and tech. His journey into the realm of gaming began with a PlayStation 1 but he chose PC as his platform of choice. With over 6 years of ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Sometime in the fall of 2021, Andrew Krapivin, an undergraduate at Rutgers University, encountered a paper that would change his life.

A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible. Sometime in the fall of 2021, Andrew ...

Linear probing is a collision resolution strategy. When a collision occurs on insert, we probe the hash table, in a linear, stepwise fashion, to find the next available space in which to store our new ...

Quadratic probing is intended to avoid primary clustering. We probe one step at a time, but our stride varies as the square of the step. Stride values follow the sequence 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, … etc.

Evaluate custom and HuggingFace text-to-image/zero-shot-image-classification models like CLIP, SigLIP, DFN5B, and EVA-CLIP. Metrics include Zero-shot accuracy, Linear ...

Seventy years after the invention of a data structure called a hash table, theoreticians have found the most efficient possible configuration for it. About 70 years ago, an engineer at IBM named Hans ...
