Christian Böhm, Bernhard Braunmüller, Florian Krebs, and Hans-Peter Kriegel,University of MunichEpsilon Grid Order: An Algorithm for the Similarity Join on Massive High-Dimensional Data
Simple Similarity Queries • Specify query object and • Find similar objects – range query • Find the k most similar objects – nearest neighbor q.
R S Join Applications: Catalogue Matching • Catalogue matching • E.g. Astronomic catalogues
Join Applications: Clustering • Clustering (e.g. DBSCAN) • Similarity self-join
Grid partitioning • General idea: Grid approximation where grid line distance = e • Similar idea in the e-kdB-tree[Shim, Srikant, Agrawal: High-dimensional Similarity Joins, ICDE 1997] • Disadvantage of any grid approach:Number of neighboring grid cells: 3d- 1
Scalability of the e-kdB-tree • Assumption: 2 adjacent e-stripes fit in main mem. • Unrealistic for large data sets which are ... • clustered, • skewed and • high-dimensional data
e-Grid-Order Is a Total Strict Order • Strict Order: • Irreflexivity • Transitivity • Asymmetry • e-grid-order can be used in any sorting algorithm
e-Interval • Coarse approximation of join mates:Used for I/O processing
I/O Processing for the Self Join • Decompose the sorted file into I/O units
CPU Processing • I/O units are further decomposed before joining • Simple divide-and-conquer: No further sorting • Decomposition: maximize active dimensions
CPU Processing • Point distance computations: Order of dimensions • Neighboring inactive dimensions • Unspecified dimensions • Active dimension • Aligned inactive dimensions
Experimental Results • 8-dimensional uniformly distributed vectors
Experimental Results (2) • 16-d feature vectors from CAD application
Conclusions • Summary • High potential for performance gains of the similarity join by page capacity optimization • Necessary to separately optimize I/O and CPU • Future research potential • Similarity join for metric index structures • Approximate similarity join • Parallel similarity join algorithms
