We show that approximate similarity (near neighbour) search can be solved in high dimensions with performance matching state of the art (data independent) Locality Sensitive Hashing, but with a guarantee of no false negatives. Specifically,…
We present new approximation results on curve simplification and clustering under Fr\'echet distance. Let $T = \{\tau_i : i \in [n] \}$ be polygonal curves in $R^d$ of $m$ vertices each. Let $l$ be any integer from $[m]$. We study a…
We present new and improved data structures that answer exact node-to-node distance queries in planar graphs. Such data structures are also known as distance oracles. For any directed planar graph on n nodes with non-negative lengths we…
Detecting commuting patterns or migration patterns in movement data is an important problem in computational movement analysis. Given a trajectory, or set of trajectories, this corresponds to clustering similar subtrajectories. We study…
In this paper, we present a linear-time approximation scheme for $k$-means clustering of \emph{incomplete} data points in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. An \emph{incomplete} data point with $\Delta>0$ unspecified entries is represented as…
Pattern matching is a fundamental process in almost every scientific domain. The problem involves finding the positions of a given pattern (usually of short length) in a reference stream of data (usually of large length). The matching can…
This paper proposes a new algorithm for reducing Approximate Nearest Neighbor problem to Approximate Near Neighbor problem. The advantage of this algorithm is that it achieves O(log n) query time. As a reduction problem, the uery time…
The article analyzes similarity of closed polygonal curves with respect to the Frechet metric, which is stronger than the well-known Hausdorff metric and therefore is more appropriate in some applications. An algorithm is described that…
Given two polygonal curves in the plane, there are many ways to define a notion of similarity between them. One popular measure is the Fr\'echet distance. Since it was proposed by Alt and Godau in 1992, many variants and extensions have…
The Fr\'echet distance is a popular distance measure for curves which naturally lends itself to fundamental computational tasks, such as clustering, nearest-neighbor searching, and spherical range searching in the corresponding metric…
A (1 + eps)-approximate distance oracle for a graph is a data structure that supports approximate point-to-point shortest-path-distance queries. The most relevant measures for a distance-oracle construction are: space, query time, and…
Simplifying polygonal curves at different levels of detail is an important problem with many applications. Existing geometric optimization algorithms are only capable of minimizing the complexity of a simplified curve for a single level of…
We consider distance queries in vertex-labeled planar graphs. For any fixed $0 < \epsilon \leq 1/2$ we show how to preprocess a directed planar graph with vertex labels and arc lengths into a data structure that answers queries of the…
Clustering, a fundamental task in data science and machine learning, groups a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same cluster are closer to each other than to those in other clusters. In this paper, we consider a well-known…
We consider the problem of augmenting an $n$-vertex tree with one shortcut in order to minimize the diameter of the resulting graph. The tree is embedded in an unknown space and we have access to an oracle that, when queried on a pair of…
The Euclidean $k$-center problem is a classical problem that has been extensively studied in computer science. Given a set $\mathcal{G}$ of $n$ points in Euclidean space, the problem is to determine a set $\mathcal{C}$ of $k$ centers (not…
Neighborhood graphs are gaining popularity as a concise data representation in machine learning. However, naive graph construction by pairwise distance calculation takes $O(n^2)$ runtime for $n$ data points and this is prohibitively slow…
We provide an efficient reduction from the problem of querying approximate multiplicatively weighted farthest neighbors in a metric space to the unweighted problem. Combining our techniques with core-sets for approximate unweighted farthest…
A suitable measure for the similarity of shapes represented by parameterized curves or surfaces is the Fr\'echet distance. Whereas efficient algorithms are known for computing the Fr\'echet distance of polygonal curves, the same problem for…
We study the problem of approximate near neighbor (ANN) search and show the following results: - An improved framework for solving the ANN problem using locality-sensitive hashing, reducing the number of evaluations of locality-sensitive…
