Motivation
Consider the following problems:- One is interested in computing summary statistics (word count distributions) for a set of words which occur in the same document in entire wikipedia collection (5 million documents). Naive techniques, will run out of main memory on most computers.
- One needs an approximate count of the number of distinct IP addresses, for packets passing through a router. The algorithm that maintains a list of all distinct IP addresses will consume too much memory.
- One needs to train an SVM classifier for text categorization, with unigram features (typically ~10 million) for hundreds of classes. One would run out of main memory, if they store uncompressed model parameters in main memory.
