Efficient EMD-based Similarity Search in Multimedia Databases via Flexible Dimensionality Reduction
Summary: Flexible dimensionality reduction for EMD in a filter-and-refine framework enables lossless multimedia retrieval with high-dimensional features. Results show striking reductions in expensive EMD computations and faster responses, with tunable reduced dimensions. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
