CP-index: using clustering and pivots for indexing non-metric spaces
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. ...

On (not) indexing quadratic form distance by metric access methods
The quadratic form distance (QFD) has been utilized as an effective similarity function in multimedia retrieval, in particular, when a histogram representation of objects is used...

Lower Bounds on Near Neighbor Search via Metric Expansion
In this paper we show how the complexity of performing nearest neighbor (NNS) search on a metric space is related to the expansion of the metric space. Given a metric space we loo...

The Black-Box Complexity of Nearest Neighbor Search
We define a natural notion of efficiency for approximate nearest-neighbor (ANN) search in general n-point metric spaces, namely the existence of a randomized algorithm which answ...

NM-Tree: Flexible Approximate Similarity Search in Metric and Non-metric Spaces
So far, an efficient similarity search in multimedia databases has been carried out by metric access methods (MAMs), where the utilized similarity measure had to satisfy the metric...
