Nearest neighbor search is a fundamental data structure problem with many applications in machine learning, computer vision, recommendation systems and other fields. Although the main objective of the data structure is to quickly report…

The approximate nearest neighbor problem ($\epsilon$-ANN) in high dimensional Euclidean space has been mainly addressed by Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH), which has polynomial dependence in the dimension, sublinear query time, but…

The approximate period recovery problem asks to compute all $\textit{approximate word-periods}$ of a given word $S$ of length $n$: all primitive words $P$ ($|P|=p$) which have a periodic extension at edit distance smaller than $\tau_p$ from…

The problem of landmark recognition has achieved excellent results in small-scale datasets. When dealing with large-scale retrieval, issues that were irrelevant with small amount of data, quickly become fundamental for an efficient…

In pattern recognition or machine learning, it is a very fundamental task to find nearest neighbors of a given point. All the methods for the task work basically by comparing the given point to all the points in the data set. That is why…

Nearest neighbor search is a basic computational tool used extensively in almost research domains of computer science specially when dealing with large amount of data. However, the use of nearest neighbor search is restricted for the…

In this article, we propose a new fast nearest neighbor search algorithm, based on vector quantization. Like many other branch and bound search algorithms [1,10], a preprocessing recursively partitions the data set into disjointed subsets…

We consider the problem of finding high dimensional approximate nearest neighbors. Suppose there are d independent rare features, each having its own independent statistics. A point x will have x_{i}=0 denote the absence of feature i, and…

Our aim is to develop dynamic data structures that support $k$-nearest neighbors ($k$-NN) queries for a set of $n$ point sites in the plane in $O(f(n) + k)$ time, where $f(n)$ is some polylogarithmic function of $n$. The key component is a…

We provide a general framework for getting expected linear time constant factor approximations (and in many cases FPTASs) to several well-known problems in Computational Geometry, such as $k$-center clustering and farthest nearest neighbor.…

We give a polynomial time Turing reduction from the $\gamma^2\sqrt{n}$-approximate closest vector problem on a lattice of dimension $n$ to a $\gamma$-approximate oracle for the shortest vector problem. This is an improvement over a…

This work aims to address an open problem in data valuation literature concerning the efficient computation of Data Shapley for weighted $K$ nearest neighbor algorithm (WKNN-Shapley). By considering the accuracy of hard-label KNN with…

We study polynomial-time approximation algorithms for (edge/vertex) Sparsest Cut and Small Set Expansion in terms of $k$, the number of edges or vertices cut in the optimal solution. Our main results are $\mathcal{O}(\text{polylog}\,…

Nearest neighbor is a popular class of classification methods with many desirable properties. For a large data set which cannot be loaded into the memory of a single machine due to computation, communication, privacy, or ownership…

This work addresses approximate nearest neighbor search applied in the domain of large-scale image retrieval. Within the group testing framework we propose an efficient off-line construction of the search structures. The linear-time…

We improve the running times of $O(1)$-approximation algorithms for the set cover problem in geometric settings, specifically, covering points by disks in the plane, or covering points by halfspaces in three dimensions. In the unweighted…

We devise a polynomial-time approximation scheme for the classical geometric problem of finding an approximate short path amid weighted regions. In this problem, a triangulated region P comprising of n vertices, a positive weight associated…

We study partial and budgeted versions of the well studied connected dominating set problem. In the partial connected dominating set problem, we are given an undirected graph G = (V,E) and an integer n', and the goal is to find a minimum…

Developing increasingly efficient and accurate algorithms for approximate nearest neighbor search is a paramount goal in modern information retrieval. A primary approach to addressing this question is clustering, which involves partitioning…

Neighbor search is a computationally demanding problem, usually both time- and memory-consuming. The main problem of this kind of algorithms is the long execution time due to cache misses. In this work, we propose a quantum algorithm for…
