Conceptual Partitioning: An Efficient Method for Continuous Nearest Neighbor Monitoring

Summary: Introduces conceptual partitioning (CPM) for continuous k-NN monitoring in dynamic data. CPM prunes updates to near-query objects, supports many static/moving queries, and extends to aggregate NN (ANN) with improved throughput. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
