We study the problem of constructing a reverse nearest neighbor (RNN) heat map by finding the RNN set of every point in a two-dimensional space. Based on the RNN set of a point, we obtain a quantitative influence (i.e., heat) for the point. The heat map provides a global view on the influence distribution in the space, and hence supports exploratory analyses in many applications such as marketing and resource management. To construct such a heat map, we first reduce it to a problem called Region Coloring (RC), which divides the space into disjoint regions within which all the points have the same RNN set. We then propose a novel algorithm named CREST that efficiently solves the RC problem by labeling each region with the heat value of its containing points. In CREST, we propose innovative techniques to avoid processing expensive RNN queries and greatly reduce the number of region labeling operations. We perform detailed analyses on the complexity of CREST and lower bounds of the RC problem, and prove that CREST is asymptotically optimal in the worst case. Extensive experiments with both real and synthetic data sets demonstrate that CREST outperforms alternative algorithms by several orders of magnitude.

Approximate Nearest neighbor search (ANNS) is fundamental and essential operation in applications from many domains, such as databases, machine learning, multimedia, and computer vision. Although many algorithms have been continuously proposed in the
literature in the above domains each year, there is no comprehensive evaluation and analysis of their performances. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive experimental evaluation of many state-of-the-art methods for approximate nearest neighbor search. Our study (1) is cross-disciplinary (i.e., including 16 algorithms in different domains, and from practitioners) and (2) has evaluated a diverse range of settings, including 20 datasets, several evaluation metrics, and different query workloads. The experimental results are carefully reported and analyzed to understand the performance results. Furthermore, we propose a new method that achieves both high query efficiency and high recall empirically on majority of the datasets under a wide range of settings.
Embedding into hyperbolic space is emerging as an effective representation technique for datasets that exhibit hierarchical structure. This development motivates the need for algorithms that are able to effectively extract knowledge and insights from
datapoints embedded in negatively curved spaces. We focus on the problem of nearest neighbor search, a fundamental problem in data analysis. We present efficient algorithmic solutions that build upon established methods for nearest neighbor search in Euclidean space, allowing for easy adoption and integration with existing systems. We prove theoretical guarantees for our techniques and our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on real datasets over competing algorithms.
It is well known that for linear Gaussian channels, a nearest neighbor decoding rule, which seeks the minimum Euclidean distance between a codeword and the received channel output vector, is the maximum likelihood solution and hence capacity-achievin
g. Nearest neighbor decoding remains a convenient and yet mismatched solution for general channels, and the key message of this paper is that the performance of the nearest neighbor decoding can be improved by generalizing its decoding metric to incorporate channel state dependent output processing and codeword scaling. Using generalized mutual information, which is a lower bound to the mismatched capacity under independent and identically distributed codebook ensemble, as the performance measure, this paper establishes the optimal generalized nearest neighbor decoding rule, under Gaussian channel input. Several suboptimal but reduced-complexity generalized nearest neighbor decoding rules are also derived and compared with existing solutions. The results are illustrated through several case studies for channels with nonlinear effects, and fading channels with receiver channel state information or with pilot-assisted training.
Though nearest neighbor Machine Translation ($k$NN-MT) cite{khandelwal2020nearest} has proved to introduce significant performance boosts over standard neural MT systems, it is prohibitively slow since it uses the entire reference corpus as the datas
tore for the nearest neighbor search. This means each step for each beam in the beam search has to search over the entire reference corpus. $k$NN-MT is thus two-order slower than vanilla MT models, making it hard to be applied to real-world applications, especially online services. In this work, we propose Fast $k$NN-MT to address this issue. Fast $k$NN-MT constructs a significantly smaller datastore for the nearest neighbor search: for each word in a source sentence, Fast $k$NN-MT first selects its nearest token-level neighbors, which is limited to tokens that are the same as the query token. Then at each decoding step, in contrast to using the entire corpus as the datastore, the search space is limited to target tokens corresponding to the previously selected reference source tokens. This strategy avoids search through the whole datastore for nearest neighbors and drastically improves decoding efficiency. Without loss of performance, Fast $k$NN-MT is two-order faster than $k$NN-MT, and is only two times slower than the standard NMT model. Fast $k$NN-MT enables the practical use of $k$NN-MT systems in real-world MT applications.footnote{Code is available at url{https://github.com/ShannonAI/fast-knn-nmt.}}
Non-parametric neural language models (NLMs) learn predictive distributions of text utilizing an external datastore, which allows them to learn through explicitly memorizing the training datapoints. While effective, these models often require retriev
al from a large datastore at test time, significantly increasing the inference overhead and thus limiting the deployment of non-parametric NLMs in practical applications. In this paper, we take the recently proposed $k$-nearest neighbors language model (Khandelwal et al., 2019) as an example, exploring methods to improve its efficiency along various dimensions. Experiments on the standard WikiText-103 benchmark and domain-adaptation datasets show that our methods are able to achieve up to a 6x speed-up in inference speed while retaining comparable performance. The empirical analysis we present may provide guidelines for future research seeking to develop or deploy more efficient non-parametric NLMs.
