Today we're looking at HyperLogLog, an algorithm that leverages random chance to count the number of distinct items are in a dataset. It does this by tracking the longest run of zeros in a binary ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new algorithm estimating the number of active flows in a data stream is proposed. This algorithm adapts the HyperLogLog algorithm of Flajolet et al. to data stream ...

Abstract: Cardinality estimation is the task of determining the number of distinct elements (or the cardinality) in a data stream, under a stringent constraint that the input data stream can be ...

Kraken is a fast taxonomic classifier for metagenomics data. This project, kraken-hll, adds some additional functionality - most notably a unique k-mer count using the HyperLogLog algorithm. Spurious ...

Instagram is introducing a new tool that lets you see and control your algorithm, starting with Reels, the company announced on Wednesday. The new tool, called “Your Algorithm,” lets you view the ...

When you create an algorithm, you need to include precise, step-by-step instructions. This means you will need to break down the task or problem into smaller steps. We call this process decomposition.
