Quality and Efficiency in High Dimensional Nearest Neighbor Search

Summary: Proposes LSB-tree, a locality-sensitive B-tree for high-dimensional NN, enabling sub-linear queries with quality guarantees in a DB-friendly index. LSB-forest stacks LSB-trees to achieve rigorous-LSH quality at much lower space and time, with linear-space updates; experiments show two orders of magnitude faster than exact NN and better quality than linear-space approximations.
