Simpler is More: Efficient Top-K Nearest Neighbors Search on Large Road Networks
Summary: Introduces KNN-Index, a small, size-bounded index enabling optimal progressive top-k NN search on road networks without complex structures. A bidirectional construction algorithm shares computation, improving build time while outperforming prior methods in query speed and space. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
