Its pretty smart to use neural networks to exploit the non uniformity of the data, but I thought they were going to have replaced just the hash function part of a bloom filter, instead of the entire algorithm. I wonder if it could preserve the speed of the bloom filter while exploiting potentially non uniform data.

There's probably something worth using in this tradeoff space, though this isn't it.
Maybe the network can be used to construct the hash function after it has learned the shape of the data.
