This paper proposes an efficient data structure, ikd-Tree, for dynamic space partition. The ikd-Tree incrementally updates a k-d tree with new coming points only, leading to much lower computation time than existing static k-d trees.…
Nearest-neighbor search dominates the asymptotic complexity of sampling-based motion planning algorithms and is often addressed with k-d tree data structures. While it is generally believed that the expected complexity of nearest-neighbor…
This paper is motivated by the k-nearest neighbors search: given an arbitrary metric space, and its finite subsets (a reference set R and a query set Q), design a fast algorithm to find all k-nearest neighbors in R for every point q in Q.…
The $k$d-tree is one of the most widely used data structures to manage multi-dimensional data. Due to the ever-growing data volume, it is imperative to consider parallelism in $k$d-trees. However, we observed challenges in existing parallel…
The $k$-d tree is one of the oldest and most widely used data structures for nearest neighbor search. It partitions Euclidean space into axis-aligned rectangular cells. There are two standard ways to find the nearest neighbor to a query in…
The kernel method is a potential approach to analyzing structured data such as sequences, trees, and graphs; however, unordered trees have not been investigated extensively. Kimura et al. (2011) proposed a kernel function for unordered…
Different spatial objects that vary in their characteristics, such as molecular biology and geography, are presented in spatial areas. Methods to organize, manage, and maintain those objects in a structured manner are required. Data mining…

We introduce K-tree in an information retrieval context. It is an efficient approximation of the k-means clustering algorithm. Unlike k-means it forms a hierarchy of clusters. It has been extended to address issues with sparse…
