A survey on graph-based methods for similarity searches in metric spaces

作者:

Highlights:

• Review of graph-based methods for similarity searches categorized by graph type.

• Discussion on the applicability and exactness of search algorithms in each graph type.

• Tradeoff between graph construction and search performance according to parameters.

• For a given recall rate, no graph type was the winner for all cases.

• Dimensionality and graph connectivity affects the graph performance.
