The tremendous growth of the Internet has significantly reduced the cost of obtaining and sharing information about individuals, raising many concerns about user privacy. Spatial...
For nearest neighbor search, a user queries a server for nearby points of interest (POIs) with his/her location information. Our aim is to protect the user’s sensitive informatio...
In this paper, we propose a novel method for fast nearest neighbors retrieval in non-Euclidean and non-metric spaces. We organize the data into a hierarchical fashion that preserv...
Abstract. Nearest Neighbor Search (NNS) is employed by many computer vision algorithms. The computational complexity is large and constitutes a challenge for real-time capability. ...
A new method is introduced that makes use of sparse image representations to search for approximate nearest neighbors (ANN) under the normalized inner-product distance. The approa...
