Exploiting the Tradeoff Between Precision and Cpu-Time to Speed Up Nearest Neighbor Search
We describe a recursive algorithm to quickly compute the N nearest neighbors according to a similarity measure in a metric space. The algorithm exploits an intrinsic property of a...

Approximating the Stretch Factor of Euclidean Graphs
There are several results available in the literature dealing with efficient construction of t-spanners for a given set S of n points in Rd. t-spanners are Euclidean graphs in whic...

Approximation Algorithms for the Bottleneck Stretch Factor Problem
The stretch factor of a Euclidean graph is the maximum ratio of the distance in the graph between any two points and their Euclidean distance. Given a set S of n points in Rd, we ...

Computational Surface Flattening: A Voxel-Based Approach
ÐA voxel-based method for flattening a surface in 3D space into 2D while best preserving distances is presented. Triangulation or polyhedral approximation of the voxel data are no...

Comparing distributions and shapes using the kernel distance
Starting with a similarity function between objects, it is possible to define a distance metric (the kernel distance) on pairs of objects, and more generally on probability distr...
