Probabilistic Data Structures and LLMs

Bloom filters are a data structure that answers the question: is an element part of a set? It does it in a remarkably efficient way: the time needed to either add items or check whether an item is in the set is a fixed constant O(k) and independent of the number of items already in the set. A fixed-sized Bloom filter can represent an arbitrarily large number of elements. There’s no free lunch — Bloom filters don’t answer in yes/no but rather “possibly yes/definitely no.” That means no false neg
