Due to the curse of dimensionality, existing index structures might perform even worse than a simple sequential scan of data when answering exact NN query. To improve the efficiency of NN search, locality sensitive hashing (LSH) and its variants have been proposed to find approximate NN. They adopt hash functions that can preserve the Euclidean distance so that similar objects have a high probability of colliding in the same bucket. Given a query object, candidate for the query result is obtained by accessing the points that are located in the same bucket. To improve the precision, each hash table is associated with m hash functions to recursively hash the data points into smaller buckets and remove the false positives. On the other hand, multiple hash tables are required to guarantee a high retrieval recall. Thus, tuning a good tradeoff between precision and recall becomes the main challenge for LSH. Recently, locality sensitive B-tree(LSB-tree) has been proposed to ensure both quality and efficiency. However, the index uses random I/O access. When the multimedia database is large, it requires considerable disk I/O cost to obtain an approximate ratio that works in practice. In this paper, we propose a novel index structure, named HashFile, for efficient retrieval of multimedia objects. It combines the advantages of random projection and linear scan. Unlike the LSH family in which each bucket is associated with a concatenation of m hash values, we only recursively partition the dense buckets and organize them as a tree structure. Given a query point q, the search algorithm explores the buckets near the query object in a top-down manner. The candidate buckets in each node are stored sequentially in increasing order of the hash value and can be efficiently loaded into memory for linear scan. HashFile can support both exact and approximate NN queries. Experimental results show that HashFile performs better than existing indexes both in answering both types of NN queries. © 2011 IEEE. | Source Title: | Proceedings - International Conference on Data Engineering | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/42099 | ISBN: | 9781424489589 | ISSN: | 10844627 | DOI: | 10.1109/ICDE.2011.5767837 |
