Approximate Nearest Neighbor in Ultra-High Dimensional
Nathan White, Tian Zhang
We study the approximate nearest neighbor problem under in the ultra-high dimensional setting where the dimension is significantly larger than the number of point…
Prune, Don't Rebuild: Efficiently Tuning -Reachable Graphs for Nearest Neighbor Search
Tian Zhang, Ashwin Padaki, Jiaming Liang +2
Vector similarity search is an essential primitive in modern AI and ML applications. Most vector databases adopt graph-based approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search algorithms, s…
Average-Distortion Sketching
Yiqiao Bao, Anubhav Baweja, Nicolas Menand +3
We introduce average-distortion sketching for metric spaces. As in (worst-case) sketching, these algorithms compress points in a metric space while approximately recovering pairwis…
Data-Dependent LSH for the Earth Mover's Distance
Rajesh Jayaram, Erik Waingarten, Tian Zhang
We give new data-dependent locality sensitive hashing schemes (LSH) for the Earth Mover's Distance (), and as a result, improve the best approximation for nearest nei…
