+ARTICLE: "cuckoo-filters" "Cuckoo Filters"
+"Cuckoo Filters are probabilistic data structures similar to Bloom Filters that provides support for removing elements without significantly degrading space and performance."
+$nl
+"Instead of storing the elements themselves, it stores a fingerprint obtained by using a " { $link checksum } ". This allows for item removal without false negatives (assuming you do not try and remove an item not contained in the filter."
+$nl
+"For applications that store many items and target low false-positive rates, Cuckoo Filters can have a lower space overhead than Bloom Filters."
+$nl
+"More information is available in the paper by Andersen, Kaminsky, and Mitzenmacher titled \"Cuckoo Filter: Practically Better Than Bloom\":"
