  • Canopy – Fast Sampling Using Cover Trees
    Canopy { Fast Sampling using Cover Trees Canopy { Fast Sampling using Cover Trees Manzil Zaheer Abstract Background. The amount of unorganized and unlabeled data, specifically images, is growing. To extract knowledge or insights from the data, exploratory data analysis tools such as searching and clustering have become the norm. The ability to search and cluster the data semantically facilitates tasks like user browsing, studying medical images, content recommendation, and com- putational advertisements among others. However, large image collections are plagued by lack of a good representation in a relevant metric space, thus making organization and navigation difficult. Moreover, the existing methods do not scale for basic operations like searching and clustering. Aim. To develop a fast and scalable search and clustering framework to enable discovery and exploration of extremely large scale data, in particular images. Data. To demonstrate the proposed method, we use two datasets of different nature. The first dataset comprises of satellite images of seven urban areas from around the world of size 200GB. The second dataset comprises of 100M images of size 40TB from Flickr, consisting of variety of photographs from day to day life without any labels or sometimes with noisy tags (∼1% of data). Methods. The excellent ability of deep networks in learning general representation is exploited to extract features from the images. An efficient hierarchical space partitioning data structure, called cover trees, is utilized so as to reduce search and reuse computations. Results. Using the visual search-by-example on satellite images runs in real-time on a single machine and the task of clustering into 64k classes converges in a single day using just 16 com- modity machines.

    Vol-3 Issue-2 2017 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 SURVEY ON VARIOUS-WIDTH CLUSTERING FOR EFFICIENT k-NEAREST NEIGHBOR SEARCH Sneha N. Aware1, Prof. Dr. Varsha H. Patil2 1 PG Student, Department of Computer Engineering,Matoshri College of Engineering & Research Centre,Nashik ,Maharashtra, India. 2 Head of Department of Computer Engineering, Matoshri College of Engineering & Research Centre, Nashik, Maharashtra, India. ABSTRACT Over recent decades, database sizes have grown large. Due to the large sizes it create new challenges, because many machine learning algorithms are not able to process such a large volume of information. The k-nearest neighbor (k- NN) is widely used in many machines learning problem. k-NN approach incurs a large computational cost. In this research a k-NN approach based on various-width clustering is presented. The k-NN search technique is based on VWC is used to efficiently find k-NNs for a query object from a given data set and create clusters with various widths. This reduces clustering time in addition to balancing the number of produced clusters and their respective sizes. Keyword: - clustering,k-Nearest Neighbor, various-width clustering, high dimensional, etc. 1. INTRODUCTION:- The k-nearest neighbor approach (k-NN) has been extensively used as a powerful non-parametric technique in many scientific and engineering applications. To find the closest result a k-NN technique is widely used in much application area. This approach incurs a large computational area. General k-NN problem states that, suppose we have n number of objects and a Q query object, then distance from the query object to all training object need to be calculated in order to find k closest objects to Q.

  • An Empirical Comparison of Exact Nearest Neighbour Algorithms
    An Empirical Comparison of Exact Nearest Neighbour Algorithms Ashraf M. Kibriya and Eibe Frank Department of Computer Science University of Waikato Hamilton, New Zealand {amk14, eibe}@cs.waikato.ac.nz Abstract. Nearest neighbour search (NNS) is an old problem that is of practical importance in a number of fields. It involves finding, for a given point q, called the query, one or more points from a given set of points that are nearest to the query q. Since the initial inception of the problem a great number of algorithms and techniques have been proposed for its solution. However, it remains the case that many of the proposed algorithms have not been compared against each other on a wide variety of datasets. This research attempts to fill this gap to some extent by presenting a detailed empirical comparison of three prominent data structures for exact NNS: KD-Trees, Metric Trees, and Cover Trees. Our results suggest that there is generally little gain in using Metric Trees or Cover Trees instead of KD-Trees for the standard NNS problem. 1 Introduction The problem of nearest neighbour search (NNS) is old [1] and comes up in many fields of practical interest. It has been extensively studied and a large number of data structures, algorithms and techniques have been proposed for its solution. Although nearest neighbour search is the most dominant term used, it is also known as the best-match, closest-match, closest-point and the post office problem. The term similarity search is also often used in the information retrieval field and the database community.

We experimentally test the algorithm showing speedups over the brute force search varying between 1 and 2000 on natural machine learning datasets. 1. INTRODUCTION Nearest neighbor search is a fundamental problem with a number of applications in peer-to-peer networks, lossy data compression, vision, dimensionality reduction, computational biology, machine learning, and Ò physical simulation. The standard setting is as follows: Given a set Ë of points in some metric space µ Ë Ô ¾ ´ , the problem is to preprocess so that given a query point , one can efficiently find a point ¾ Ë ´Ô Õ µ Õ which minimizes . For general metrics, finding (or even approximating) the nearest neighbor Òµ of a point requires ª´ time. However, the metrics and datasets of practical interest typically have some structure which may be exploited to yield significant computational speedups. Most research has focused on the special case when the metric is Euclidean. Although many strong theoretical guarantees have been made here, this case is quite limiting in a variety of settings when the data do not naturally lie in a Euclidean space or when the data is embedded in a high dimensional space, but has a low dimensional intrinsic structure [TSL00, RS00] (as is common in many machine learning problems).

Near-neighbor search is fundamental to numerous computational tasks arising in modern data analysis, modeling, and knowledge discovery. The ac- curacy and efficiency of near-neighbor search depends on the underlying structure of the dataset. In emerging data-driven analysis applications, the dataset is not necessarily stationary, the structure is not necessarily built once for all queries, and search is not necessarily limited to a few query points. To facilitate accurate and efficient near-neighbor search in a stationary or dynamic dataset, we makeasys- tematic investigation of all-NN search at multiple resolution levels, with attention to several standing or previously overlooked issues associated with high-dimensional feature spaces.

  • Non-Rigid Surface Registration Using Cover Tree Based Clustering and Nearest Neighbor Search
    Non-rigid Surface Registration using Cover Tree based Clustering and Nearest Neighbor Search Manal H. Alassaf 1, 2, Yeny Yim3 and James K. Hahn1 1Department of Computer Science, George Washington University, Washington DC, U.S.A. 2Department of computer science, Taif University, Taif, Saudi Arabia 3Samsung Electronics, Suwon, Geonggi-Do, Republic of Korea Keywords: Non-rigid Registration, Iterative Closest Point Algorithm, ICP, Cover Tree, Clustering, Nearest Neighbor Search. Abstract: We propose a novel non-rigid registration method that computes the correspondences of two deformable surfaces using the cover tree. The aim is to find the correct correspondences without landmark selection and to reduce the computational complexity. The source surface S is initially aligned to the target surface T to generate a cover tree from the densely distributed surface points. The cover tree is constructed by taking into account the positions and normal vectors of the points and used for hierarchical clustering and nearest neighbor search. The cover tree based clustering divides the two surfaces into several clusters based on the geometric features, and each cluster on the source surface is transformed to its corresponding cluster on the target. The nearest neighbor search from the cover tree reduces the search space for correspondence computation, and the source surface is deformed to the target by optimizing the point pairs. The correct correspondence of a given source point is determined by choosing one target point with the best correspondence measure from the k nearest neighbors. The proposed energy function with Jacobian penalty allows deforming the surface accurately and with less deformation folding. 1 INTRODUCTION it is quite efficient especially for low dimensional data.
