> In fairness, I don't recall any literature on these (as is the norm for high-end database computer science). Check out Navarro's book Compact Data Structures: A Practical Approach. It's a really great survey of the literature from a data structures perspective. It also spends a lot of time on compressing these structures, an alternate perspective to learning/prediction,…
on “The Case for Learned Index Structures” ↗Navarro's book Compact Data Structures is an excellent survey of this literature! https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/compact-data-structures... I love the perspective of computing the information theoretic lower bounds for a data structure…
on “Time-Series Compression Algorithms” ↗Also recommend "Compact Data Structures" by Gonzalo Navarro if you're into compression and data structures.
on “A Spellchecker Used to Be a Major Feat of Software Engineering” ↗Here's a few - Book called Compact Data Structures by Gonzalo Navarro https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/compact-data-structures... - Ben Langmead's YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@BenLangmead - MIT Open Courseware https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-02-introduction-to-eecs-ii-dig...…
on “Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment” ↗Navarro’s “Compact Data Structures” is a really excellent reference, too: https://users.dcc.uchile.cl/~gnavarro/CDSbook/
on “An Experimental Study of Bitmap Compression vs. Inverted List Compression” ↗Here is book on the subject: https://www.amazon.com/Compact-Data-Structures-Practical-App... I haven't read the book, so I can't comment on the quality.
on “SDSL – Succinct Data Structure Library” ↗…(haven’t read it yet, but it doesn't seem to have much code examples if any) that covers Succinct Graph data structures and also Succinct Dyanmic Data structures: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Compact_Data_Structures...
