We suggest a robust nearest-neighbor approach to classifying high-dimensional data. The method enhances sensitivity by employing a threshold and truncates to a sequence of zeros and ones in order to reduce the deleterious impact of…
We devise a coreset selection method based on the idea of gradient matching: The gradients induced by the coreset should match, as closely as possible, those induced by the original training dataset. We evaluate the method in the context of…

We explore a variety of nearest neighbor baseline approaches for image captioning. These approaches find a set of nearest neighbor images in the training set from which a caption may be borrowed for the query image. We select a caption for…
Graph clustering is a fundamental task in network analysis where the goal is to detect sets of nodes that are well-connected to each other but sparsely connected to the rest of the graph. We present faster approximation algorithms for an…
Most approaches that tackle the problem of node classification consider nodes to be similar, if they have shared neighbors or are close to each other in the graph. Recent methods for attributed graphs additionally take attributes of…
Nearest neighbor search is a very active field in machine learning for it appears in many application cases, including classification and object retrieval. In its canonical version, the complexity of the search is linear with both the…
In a traditional setting, classifiers are trained to approximate a target function $f:X \rightarrow Y$ where at least a sample for each $y \in Y$ is presented to the training algorithm. In a zero-shot setting we have a subset of the labels…
Near neighbor search (NNS) is a powerful abstraction for data access; however, data indexing is troublesome even for approximate indexes. For intrinsically high-dimensional data, high-quality fast searches demand either indexes with…

Suppose $V$ is an $n$-element set where for each $x \in V$, the elements of $V \setminus \{x\}$ are ranked by their similarity to $x$. The $K$-nearest neighbor graph is a directed graph including an arc from each $x$ to the $K$ points of $V…
We introduce a variant of the $k$-nearest neighbor classifier in which $k$ is chosen adaptively for each query, rather than supplied as a parameter. The choice of $k$ depends on properties of each neighborhood, and therefore may…
Coresets are compact representations of data sets such that models trained on a coreset are provably competitive with models trained on the full data set. As such, they have been successfully used to scale up clustering models to massive…
