Distance-Based Indexing For High-Dimensional Metric Spaces

Summary: Proposes a multi-vantage point (MVP) tree for similarity search in high-dimensional metric spaces. Uses multiple vantage points per level with precomputed distances to form spherical partitions; MVP-tree outperforms vp-trees by 20–80% across query ranges and distance distributions.
