Learned Monotone Minimal Perfect Hashing

Authors: Paolo Ferragina, Hans-Peter Lehmann, Peter Sanders, and Giorgio Vinciguerra

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 274, 31st Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2023)

Abstract

A Monotone Minimal Perfect Hash Function (MMPHF) constructed on a set S of keys is a function that maps each key in S to its rank. On keys not in S, the function returns an arbitrary value. Applications range from databases, search engines, data encryption, to pattern-matching algorithms. In this paper, we describe LeMonHash, a new technique for constructing MMPHFs for integers. The core idea of LeMonHash is surprisingly simple and effective: we learn a monotone mapping from keys to their rank via an error-bounded piecewise linear model (the PGM-index), and then we solve the collisions that might arise among keys mapping to the same rank estimate by associating small integers with them in a retrieval data structure (BuRR). On synthetic random datasets, LeMonHash needs 34% less space than the next larger competitor, while achieving about 16 times faster queries. On real-world datasets, the space usage is very close to or much better than the best competitors, while achieving up to 19 times faster queries than the next larger competitor. As far as the construction of LeMonHash is concerned, we get an improvement by a factor of up to 2, compared to the competitor with the next best space usage. We also investigate the case of keys being variable-length strings, introducing the so-called LeMonHash-VL: it needs space within 13% of the best competitors while achieving up to 3 times faster queries than the next larger competitor.

Repetition- and Linearity-Aware Rank/Select Dictionaries

Authors: Paolo Ferragina, Giovanni Manzini, and Giorgio Vinciguerra

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 212, 32nd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2021)

Abstract

We revisit the fundamental problem of compressing an integer dictionary that supports efficient rank and select operations by exploiting two kinds of regularities arising in real data: repetitiveness and approximate linearity. Our first contribution is a Lempel-Ziv parsing properly enriched to also capture approximate linearity in the data and still be compressed to the kth order entropy. Our second contribution is a variant of the block tree structure whose space complexity takes advantage of both repetitiveness and approximate linearity, and results highly competitive in time too. Our third and final contribution is an implementation and experimentation of this last data structure, which achieves new space-time trade-offs compared to known data structures that exploit only one of the two regularities.
