Cold Filter: A Meta-Framework for Faster and More Accurate Stream Processing

Summary: Cold Filter (CF) is a meta-framework for faster, more accurate approximate stream processing. Captures cold items first, hot items second in a one-direction flow, avoiding inter-stage chatter, delivering up to 4.7x speedup and 51x accuracy gains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
