Nearest neighbor searching of large databases in high-dimensional spaces is inherently difficult due to the curse of dimensionality. A flavor of approximation is, therefore, necessary to practically solve the problem of nearest neighbor…
In recent years, the dominant accuracy metric for vector search is the recall of a result list of fixed size (top-k retrieval), considering as ground truth the exact vector retrieval results. Although convenient to compute, this metric is…
In the $k$-Orthogonal Vectors ($k$-OV) problem we are given $k$ sets, each containing $n$ binary vectors of dimension $d=n^{o(1)}$, and our goal is to pick one vector from each set so that at each coordinate at least one vector has a zero.…

Many objects are represented as high-dimensional vectors nowadays. In this setting, the relevance between two objects (vectors) is usually evaluated by their inner product. Recently, item-centric searches, which search for users relevant to…
In the Orthogonal Vectors problem (OV), we are given two families $A, B$ of subsets of $\{1,\ldots,d\}$, each of size $n$, and the task is to decide whether there exists a pair $a \in A$ and $b \in B$ such that $a \cap b = \emptyset$.…
An algorithm for structured database searching is presented and used to solve the set partition problem. O(n) oracle calls are required in order to obtain a solution, but the probability that this solution is optimal decreases exponentially…
In this paper, we present an ensemble algorithm for selection problem to find the k-th smallest element in the unsorted database. We will search the k-th smallest element by using "divide-and-conquer" strategy. We first divide D, the domain…
We introduce the concept of a k-spine of a tree. A k-spine is essentially a path in the tree whose removal leaves only "less-bushy" components of a smaller pathwidth. Using a k-spine as a central guide, we introduce an O(klog dist)…
We consider a multidimensional search problem that is motivated by questions in contextual decision-making, such as dynamic pricing and personalized medicine. Nature selects a state from a $d$-dimensional unit ball and then generates a…
