Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a fast search method for asymmetric distance computation in large-scale binary codes. Asymmetric distances take advantage of less information loss at the query side. However, calculating asymmetric distances with the linear scan approach is prohibitive in a large-scale dataset. We present a novel algorithm called multi-index voting, which integrates the multi-index hashing technique with a voting mechanism, to select appropriate candidates and calculate their asymmetric distances. Substantial experimental evaluations are given to demonstrate that, guided by the voting mechanism, the proposed method can yield an approximate accuracy to the linear scan approach while accelerating the run time with a significant speedup. For example, one result shows that in a dataset of one billion 256-bit binary codes, examining only 0.5% of the dataset can reach 95~99% close accuracy to the linear scan approach but can accelerate over 73~128 times.
