The original description of the k-d tree recognized that rebalancing techniques, such as are used to build an AVL tree or a red-black tree, are not applicable to a k-d tree. Hence, in order to build a balanced k-d tree, it is necessary to…

The original description of the k-d tree recognized that rebalancing techniques, used for building an AVL or red-black tree, are not applicable to a k-d tree, because these techniques involve cyclic exchange of tree nodes that violates the…
We present an algorithm that allows for building left-balanced and complete k-d trees over k-dimensional points in a trivially parallel and GPU friendly way. Our algorithm requires exactly one int per data point as temporary storage, and…
Data structures known as $k$-d trees have numerous applications in scientific computing, particularly in areas of modern statistics and data science such as range search in decision trees, clustering, nearest neighbors search, local…
We present an algorithm that allows for find-closest-point and kNN-style traversals of left-balanced k-d trees, without the need for either recursion or software-managed stacks; instead using only current and last previously traversed node…
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…
Containment-based trees encompass various handy structures such as B+-trees, R-trees and M-trees. They are widely used to build data indexes, range-queryable overlays, publish/subscribe systems both in centralized and distributed contexts.…
We suggest a new non-recursive algorithm for constructing a binary search tree given an array of numbers. The algorithm has $O(N)$ time and $O(1)$ memory complexity if the given array of $N$ numbers is sorted. The resulting tree is of…
Net-trees are a general purpose data structure for metric data that have been used to solve a wide range of algorithmic problems. We give a simple randomized algorithm to construct net-trees on doubling metrics using $O(n\log n)$ time in…
In this paper we study the question of whether or not a static search tree should ever be unbalanced. We present several methods to restructure an unbalanced k-ary search tree $T$ into a new tree $R$ that preserves many of the properties of…
K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) search is a fundamental algorithm in artificial intelligence software with applications in robotics, and autonomous vehicles. These wide-ranging applications utilize KNN either directly for simple classification or…
Two kinds of approximation algorithms exist for the k-BALANCED PARTITIONING problem: those that are fast but compute unsatisfying approximation ratios, and those that guarantee high quality ratios but are slow. In this paper we prove that…
Unbalanced data arises in many learning tasks such as clustering of multi-class data, hierarchical divisive clustering and semisupervised learning. Graph-based approaches are popular tools for these problems. Graph construction is an…
The k-d tree is a classic binary space-partitioning tree used to organize points in k-dimensional space. While used in computational geometry and graphics, the data structure has a long history of application in nearest neighbor search. The…
We propose and study a multi-scale approach to vector quantization. We develop an algorithm, dubbed reconstruction trees, inspired by decision trees. Here the objective is parsimonious reconstruction of unsupervised data, rather than…
Data augmentation is widely used for training a neural network given little labeled data. A common practice of augmentation training is applying a composition of multiple transformations sequentially to the data. Existing augmentation…
We revisit the \textsc{$k$-Secluded Tree} problem. Given a vertex-weighted undirected graph $G$, its objective is to find a maximum-weight induced subtree $T$ whose open neighborhood has size at most $k$. We present a fixed-parameter…
In this paper, we revisit the problem of indexing multi-dimensional data in memory for the efficient support of multi-dimensional range queries and nearest neighbor queries. This is a classic problem in main-memory databases, where there is…
Trees are fundamental data structure for many areas of computer science and system engineering. In this report, we show how to ensure eventual consistency of optimistically replicated trees. In optimistic replication, the different replicas…
