Compact Geometric Representations of Hierarchies

Prashant Gokhale, Piotr Indyk, Yuhao Liu +3

Computing geometric representations of data is a cornerstone of modern machine learning, typically achieved by training dual encoders which map queries and documents into a shared…

Optimal Algorithms for Augmented Testing of Discrete Distributions

Maryam Aliakbarpour, Piotr Indyk, Ronitt Rubinfeld +1

We consider the problem of hypothesis testing for discrete distributions. In the standard model, where we have sample access to an underlying distribution , extensive research h…

SparseCL: Sparse Contrastive Learning for Contradiction Retrieval

Haike Xu, Zongyu Lin, Yizhou Sun +2

Contradiction retrieval refers to identifying and extracting documents that explicitly disagree with or refute the content of a query, which is important to many downstream applica…

A Bi-metric Framework for Fast Similarity Search

Haike Xu, Sandeep Silwal, Piotr Indyk

We propose a new "bi-metric" framework for designing nearest neighbor data structures. Our framework assumes two dissimilarity functions: a ground-truth metric that is accurate but…

Dimension-Accuracy Tradeoffs in Contrastive Embeddings for Triplets, Terminals & Top-k Nearest Neighbors

Vaggos Chatziafratis, Piotr Indyk

Metric embeddings traditionally study how to map items to a target metric space such that distance lengths are not heavily distorted; but what if we only care to preserve the r…

Worst-case Performance of Popular Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search Implementations: Guarantees and Limitations

Piotr Indyk, Haike Xu

Graph-based approaches to nearest neighbor search are popular and powerful tools for handling large datasets in practice, but they have limited theoretical guarantees. We study the…
