Entropy-Punctured Bloom Filters Target Memory-Efficient ML Feature Encoding
A new arXiv paper proposes entropy-punctured Bloom filters as a compact way to represent features when machine learning pipelines face limits on storage, bandwidth, transmission cost, or data privacy. Bloom filter encodings are probabilistic and space-efficient, and the work examines how puncturing based on entropy affects their memory footprint and usability. The approach is aimed at settings where raw data cannot be stored or shared freely.
