Most multimedia information retrieval systems use an indexing scheme to speed up similarity search. The index aims to discard large portions of the data collection at query time. ...
We present a novel Locality-Sensitive Hashing scheme for the Approximate Nearest Neighbor Problem under ÐÔ norm, based on Ôstable distributions. Our scheme improves the running...

We present a near linear time algorithm for constructing hierarchical nets in finite metric spaces with constant doubling dimension. This data-structure is then applied to obtain...
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P, our goal is to find a set C of size k such that the s...
In the k-median problem we are given a set S of n points in a metric space and a positive integer k. We desire to locate k medians in space, such that the sum of the distances fro...
