We study the following range searching problem in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces: given a finite set $P\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, where each $p\in P$ is assigned a weight $w_p$, and radius $r>0$, we need to preprocess $P$ into a data…

Embedding complex objects as vectors in low dimensional spaces is a longstanding problem in machine learning. We propose in this work an extension of that approach, which consists in embedding objects as elliptical probability…
For any constant $d$ and parameter $\varepsilon > 0$, we show the existence of (roughly) $1/\varepsilon^d$ orderings on the unit cube $[0,1)^d$, such that any two points $p,q\in [0,1)^d$ that are close together under the Euclidean metric…
