On indexing metric spaces using cut-regions

作者:

Highlights:

• The new cut-region formalism that is suitable for simplified description of compact metric regions.

• New cheap dynamic construction techniques for the PM-tree that can compete with expensive strategies of the original PM-tree (e.g., multi-way leaf selection).

• Adaptation of M-Index and List of Clusters to operate with cut-regions.

• Thorough experimental evaluation also including comparison with the state-of-the-art MAMs.
