Class RandomBallCover<V extends Vec>

java.lang.Object

jsat.linear.vectorcollection.RandomBallCover<V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, VectorCollection<V>

public class RandomBallCover<V extends Vec>
extends Object
implements VectorCollection<V>

An implementation of the exact search for the Random Ball Cover algorithm. Unlike most algorithms, it attempts to satisfy queries in O(sqrt(n)) time. It does this to be more efficient in its computation and easily parallelizable. Construction time is O(n^3/2).
Unlike the original paper, which assumes single queries will be run in parallel, the algorithm has been modified to perform additional pruning and to support range queries.

Method Detail

search

public List<? extends VecPaired<V,Double>> search(Vec query,
                                                  double range)

Description copied from interface: VectorCollection

Searches the space for all vectors that are within a given range of the query vector.

Specified by:

search in interface VectorCollection<V extends Vec>

Parameters:

query - the vector we want to find others near

range - the search range around our query

Returns:

the list of all vectors within the range of our query. The paired value contains the distance to the query vector.

search

public List<? extends VecPaired<V,Double>> search(Vec query,
                                                  int neighbors)

Description copied from interface: VectorCollection

Searches the space for the k neighbors that are closest to the given query vector

Specified by:

search in interface VectorCollection<V extends Vec>

Parameters:

query - the vector we want to find neighbors of

neighbors - the maximum number of neighbors to return

Returns:

the list the k nearest neighbors, in sorted order from closest to farthest. The paired value contains the distance to the query vector
