Similarity Search: A Matching Based Approach

Summary: Proposes k-n-match, a similarity search selecting n<d dimensions to maximize query-object matches and reveal partial similarities. Frequent k-n-match aggregates results over n-ranges; disk-based processing enabled, with experiments showing gains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
