Abstract

In a non-expansive hashing scheme, similar inputs are stored in memory locations which are close. We develop a non-expansive hashing scheme wherein any set of size O(R1-ε) from a large universe may be stored in a memory of size R (any ε > 0, and R > R0(ε)), and where retrieval takes O(1) operations. We explain how to use non-expansive hashing schemes for efficient storage and retrieval of noisy data. A dynamic version of this hashing scheme is presented as well.
