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 ...

Abstract: Multi-pattern matching algorithms are broadly used in many fields of computer science. However, the performance of the existing algorithms seriously degrades with the increasing of the ...

As we have seen in previous videos, it happens sometimes that two keys yield the same hash value for a given table size. This is called a “hash collision” or just “collision.” Why do hash collisions ...
