A Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme for Minimum Routing Cost Spanning Trees
Given an undirected graph with nonnegative costs on the edges, the routing cost of any of its spanning trees is the sum over all pairs of vertices of the cost of the path between t...

Low-distortion embeddings of general metrics into the line
A low-distortion embedding between two metric spaces is a mapping which preserves the distances between each pair of points, up to a small factor called distortion. Low-distortion...

Randomly Projected KD-Trees with Distance Metric Learning for Image Retrieval
Abstract. Efficient nearest neighbor (NN) search techniques for highdimensional data are crucial to content-based image retrieval (CBIR). Traditional data structures (e.g., kd-tree...

The Geometry of the Neighbor-Joining Algorithm for Small Trees
In 2007, Eickmeyer et al. showed that the tree topologies outputted by the Neighbor-Joining (NJ) algorithm and the balanced minimum evolution (BME) method for phylogenetic reconstr...

Learning a Similarity Metric Discriminatively, with Application to Face Verification
We present a method for training a similarity metric from data. The method can be used for recognition or verification applications where the number of categories is very large an...
