Abstract

This paper proposes an approximate nearest neighbor search algorithm for high-dimensional data. The proposed algorithm is based on a distance-based hashing called adaptive flexible distance-based hashing (AFDH). For a given query, AFDH returns a small-sized candidate set of nearest neighbors, and the one closest to the query is selected as the final result. The main advantage of the proposed algorithm is that, without fine tuning of parameter values of the algorithm, good search results can be obtained. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm produces satisfactory results in terms of quality of results as well as execution time.
