Nearest Neighbor Searching Under Uncertainty II

Summary: Nearest-neighbor search for points with probabilistic locations (PDFs); introduces efficient algorithms to enumerate all points with nonzero NN probability and to estimate each point’s NN probability within a specified additive error. Also gives methods to return the maximum-probability NN or all points above a threshold, with experimental validation. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
