Distributed Similarity Search in High Dimensions Using Locality Sensitive Hashing

Karl Aberer, Sebastian Michel, Parisa Haghani

In this paper we consider distributed K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) search and range query processing in high dimensional data. Our approach is based on Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) which has proven very efficient in answering KNN queries in centralized set ...

Evaluating Top-k Queries over Incomplete Data Streams

Karl Aberer, Sebastian Michel, Parisa Haghani

We study the problem of continuous monitoring of top-k queries over multiple non-synchronized streams. Assuming a sliding window model, this general problem has been a well addressed research topic in recent years. However, most approaches assume the strea ...

Distributed top-k aggregation queries at large

Sebastian Michel

Top-k query processing is a fundamental building block for efficient ranking in a large number of applications. Efficiency is a central issue, especially for distributed settings, when the data is spread across different nodes in a network. This paper intr ...
