Nevertheless, these filters may yield false positive results when testing for elements that have not been previously inserted. In general, higher false positive rates are expected for sets with larger cardinality with constant filter size. This paper shows that for sets where a distance metric can be defined, reducing the false positive rate is possible if elements to be inserted exhibit locality according to this metric. In this way, a hardware alternative to Bloom filters able to extract spatial locality features is proposed and analyzed.
