Why does the countmin sketch require pairwise independent. First, we extend the notion of a minwise independent family of hash functions by defining a dkminwise independent family of hash functions. Typically, to obtain the required guarantees, we would need not just one function, but a family of functions, where we would use randomness to sample a hash function from this.
The leftover hash lemma shows us how to explicitly construct an extractor from a family of pairwise independent functions h. Whenever we write h 2h, we shall assume the uniform distribution. The analysis of the collision probabilities in the countmin sketch looks remarkably similar to the analysis of collision probabilities in a chained hash table which only requires a family of universal hash functions, not pairwise independent hash functions, and i cant spot the difference in the analyses. Iterated hash functions process strings recursively, one character at a time. We now formalize this notion in the following definition.

For example, consider following set of three pairwiseindependent binary variables u 1,2,3,t 0,1,t 2, where each row gives an assignment to the three variables and the associated probability. Recursive ngram hashing is pairwise independent, at best. A natural candidate is a pairwise independent hash family, for we are simply seeking to minimize collisions, and collisions are pairwise events, so the statistics will be the same. Note that if we consider the random seed as being a string of bits that we must query to hash our values, then to hash a family of nvalues using the above schemes.
Here we focus on the family of linear hash functions of the form hx signxw, with w. We will very frequently use 2universal and pairwise independent hash function families but we will see that larger independence will also sometimes be useful. Typically, to obtain the required guarantees, we would need not just one function, but a family of functions, where we would use randomness to sample a hash function from this family. Finally, as a usage example, we show how to apply those hash functions to the. The extractor uses a random hash function h r has its seed and keeps this seed in the output of the extractor. Definition 2 pair wise independent family of hash functions a family of hash functions his called pairwise independent if 8x 6 y 2d and 8a 1.

The most popular data independent approach to generate those hash functioniscalledlocalitysensitivehashinglsh23,9. Yun kuen cheung, aleksandar nikolov 1 overview in this lecture, we will introduce kwise independence and kwise independent hashing. We use the method of defered decissions to show that y j is a uniform bit. For theoretical analysis of hashing, there have been two main approaches. We wish the set of functions to be of small size while still behaving similarly to the set of all functions when we pick a member at random. Pdf lowdensity parity constraints for hashingbased. Unfortunately, such hash functions are not practical. It is known that lgnbits su ce to generating npairwise independent random bits see example 5.

M is a prime and m iui so how do i show that the family is pairwise independent. One neat thing about this example is that, in addition to all variables being pairwise independent, the associativity of xor means that theyre also interchangeable. More generally, if a family is strongly kuniversal and we choose a hash function from. Last time we discussed a class of pairwise independent hash functions over nite elds. In computer science, a family of hash functions is said to be kindependent or kuniversal if selecting a function at random from the family guarantees that the hash codes of any designated k keys are independent random variables see precise mathematical definitions below. Moreover, the idea of pairwise independence can be generalized. Many universal families are known for hashing integers, vectors, strings. We present the efficient implementation of a family.
Michael mitzenmachery salil vadhanz abstract hashing is fundamental to many algorithms and data structures widely used in practice. Because of this, hash functions chosen from a strongly 2universal family are also known as pairwise independent hash functions. Ideally, i would have some object universalfamily representing the family which would return me objects with a method hash which hashes integers. However, clearly they are not jointly independent, since z can explicitly be determined by knowing x and y. Introduction to pairwise independent hashing weizmann institute of. Since x and y are defined in the same way, z must also be independent of y. Recall that a pairwise independent family of hash functions satis es p hhx 1 y.
