Abstract

In this paper, we present an approximate nearest neighbor search algorithm that use heuristics to decide whether or not to access a node in the index tree based on three interesting data distribution properties. We demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the number of nodes accessed over the algorithms that have been proposed in earlier works. Also, it will be demonstrated in this paper that the proposed algorithm can retain close to 100% of the K nearest neighbors in most cases.
