We present bundled references, a new building block to provide linearizable range query operations for highly concurrent lock-based linked data structures. Bundled references allow range queries to traverse a path through the data structure…
The problem of recovering (count and sum) range queries over multidimensional data only on the basis of aggregate information on such data is addressed. This problem can be formalized as follows. Suppose that a transformation T producing a…
Partitioning trees are efficient data structures for $k$-nearest neighbor search. Machine learning libraries commonly use a special type of partitioning trees called $k$d-trees to perform $k$-nn search. Unfortunately, $k$d-trees can be…
The k-d tree was one of the first spatial data structures proposed for nearest neighbor search. Its efficacy is diminished in high-dimensional spaces, but several variants, with randomization and overlapping cells, have proved to be…
We investigate at decision trees that incorporate both traditional queries based on one attribute and queries based on hypotheses about the values of all attributes. Such decision trees are similar to ones studied in exact learning, where…
Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in ${\mathbb R}^{d}$. A point $p \in P$ is $k$\emph{-shallow} if it lies in a halfspace which contains at most $k$ points of $P$ (including $p$). We show that if all points of $P$ are $k$-shallow, then $P$ can…
Connectivity query processing is a fundamental problem in graph processing. Given an undirected graph and two query vertices, the problem aims to identify whether they are connected via a path. Given frequent edge updates in real graph…
Geometric graphs appear in many real-world data sets, such as road networks, sensor networks, and molecules. We investigate the notion of distance between embedded graphs and present a metric to measure the distance between two geometric…
Consider the continuum of points along the edges of a network, i.e., a connected, undirected graph with positive edge weights. We measure the distance between these points in terms of the weighted shortest path distance, called the network…
Wavelet trees are widely used in the representation of sequences, permutations, text collections, binary relations, discrete points, and other succinct data structures. We show, however, that this still falls short of exploiting all of the…
Reachability queries ask whether there exists a path from the source vertex to the target vertex on a graph. Recently, several powerful reachability queries, such as Label-Constrained Reachability (LCR) queries and Regular Path Queries…
The {\em bottleneck distance} is a natural measure of the distance between two finite point sets of equal cardinality, defined as the minimum over all bijections between the point sets of the maximum distance between any pair of points put…
We present a scalable approach for range and $k$ nearest neighbor queries under computationally expensive metrics, like the continuous Fr\'echet distance on trajectory data. Based on clustering for metric indexes, we obtain a dynamic tree…
There are several known data structures that answer distance queries between two arbitrary vertices in a planar graph. The tradeoff is among preprocessing time, storage space and query time. In this paper we present three data structures…

We present an algorithm to generate application-specific, global reduced order quadratures (ROQ) for multiple fast evaluations of weighted inner products between parameterized functions. If a reduced basis (RB) or any other projection-based…
Quantum computing is a popular topic in computer science, which has recently attracted many studies in various areas such as machine learning and network. However, the topic of quantum data structures seems neglected. There is an open…
The nearest neighbor problem is defined as follows: Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in some metric space $(X,D)$, build a data structure that, given any point $q$, returns a point in $P$ that is closest to $q$ (its "nearest neighbor" in $P$).…
A matching cut is a partition of the vertex set of a graph into two sets $A$ and $B$ such that each vertex has at most one neighbor in the other side of the cut. The MATCHING CUT problem asks whether a graph has a matching cut, and has been…
Within a mathematically rigorous model, we analyse the curse of dimensionality for deterministic exact similarity search in the context of popular indexing schemes: metric trees. The datasets $X$ are sampled randomly from a domain $\Omega$,…
