In the past decades, the rapid growth of computer and database technologies has led to the rapid growth of large-scale datasets. On the other hand, data mining applications with high dimensional datasets that require high speed and accuracy…

Approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) query in high-dimensional Euclidean space is a key operator in database systems. For this query, quantization is a popular family of methods developed for compressing vectors and reducing memory…

Near neighbor problems are fundamental in algorithms for high-dimensional Euclidean spaces. While classical approaches suffer from the curse of dimensionality, locality sensitive hashing (LSH) can effectively solve a-approximate r-near…

We present skweak, a versatile, Python-based software toolkit enabling NLP developers to apply weak supervision to a wide range of NLP tasks. Weak supervision is an emerging machine learning paradigm based on a simple idea: instead of…

\textsc{Pykat} is a Python package which extends the popular optical interferometer modelling software \textsc{Finesse}. It provides a more modern and efficient user interface for conducting complex numerical simulations, as well as…

Integration is affected by the curse of dimensionality and quickly becomes intractable as the dimensionality of the problem grows. We propose a randomized algorithm that, with high probability, gives a constant-factor approximation of a…

We study the $r$-near neighbors reporting problem ($r$-NN), i.e., reporting \emph{all} points in a high-dimensional point set $S$ that lie within a radius $r$ of a given query point $q$. Our approach builds upon on the locality-sensitive…

There is growing interest in representing image data and feature descriptors using compact binary codes for fast near neighbor search. Although binary codes are motivated by their use as direct indices (addresses) into a hash table, codes…

Given a large dataset of binary codes and a binary query point, we address how to efficiently find $K$ codes in the dataset that yield the largest cosine similarities to the query. The straightforward answer to this problem is to compare…

Approximate $k$-nearest neighbor (AKNN) search is a fundamental problem with wide applications. To reduce memory and accelerate search, vector quantization is widely adopted. However, existing quantization methods either rely on codebooks…

A growing interest has been witnessed recently from both academia and industry in building nearest neighbor search (NNS) solutions on top of full-text search engines. Compared with other NNS systems, such solutions are capable of…

Cutting and packing problems are present in many, at first glance unconnected, areas, therefore it's beneficial to have a good understanding of their underlying structure, to select proper techniques for finding solutions. Cutting and…

Coverage analysis is widely used but can suffer from high overhead. This overhead is especially acute in the context of Python, which is already notoriously slow (a recent study observes a roughly 30x slowdown vs. native code). We find that…

Dataset pruning aims to select a subset of a dataset for efficient model training. While data efficiency in natural language processing has primarily focused on within-corpus scenarios during model pre-training, efficient dataset pruning…

Similarity search, the task of identifying objects most similar to a given query object under a specific metric, has gathered significant attention due to its practical applications. However, the absence of coordinate information to…

This work presents an adaptive group testing framework for the range-based high dimensional near neighbor search problem. Our method efficiently marks each item in a database as neighbor or non-neighbor of a query point, based on a cosine…

Efficient detection and description of geometric regions in images is a prerequisite in visual systems for localization and mapping. Such systems still rely on traditional hand-crafted methods for efficient generation of lightweight…

As hashing becomes an increasingly appealing technique for large-scale image retrieval, multi-label hashing is also attracting more attention for the ability to exploit multi-level semantic contents. In this paper, we propose a novel deep…

Distance-based classification is frequently used in transductive few-shot learning (FSL). However, due to the high-dimensionality of image representations, FSL classifiers are prone to suffer from the hubness problem, where a few points…

Nearest Neighbor Search (NNS) is a central task in knowledge representation, learning, and reasoning. There is vast literature on efficient algorithms for constructing data structures and performing exact and approximate NNS. This paper…
