Zusammenfassung:Nearest neighbor search is a fundamental problem in computer vision and machine learning. The straightforward solution, linear scan, is both computationally and memory intensive in large scale high-dimensional cases, hence is not preferable in practice. Therefore, there have been a lot of interests in algorithms that perform approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search. In this paper, we propose a novel addition-based vector quantization algorithm, Asymmetric Mapping Quantization (AMQ), to efficiently conduct ANN search. Unlike existing addition-based quantization methods that suffer from handling the problem caused by the norm of database vector, we map the query vector and database vector using different mapping functions to transform the computation of L-2 distance to inner product similarity, thus do not need to evaluate the norm of database vector. Moreover, we further propose Distributed Asymmetric Mapping Quantization (DAMQ) to enable AMQ to work on very large dataset by distributed learning. Extensive experiments on approximate nearest neighbor search and image retrieval validate the merits of the proposed AMQ and DAMQ
