Dynamic Exploration Graph: A Novel Approach for Efficient Nearest Neighbor Search in Evolving Multimedia Datasets

  • 用新删除算法和无分布依赖扩展方法保持图连通性
  • 流式与在线场景下构建更快、搜索更高效
  • 既适合动态数据,也兼容静态数据最优性能

近似最近邻搜索(ANNS)在图像检索、推荐系统等应用中至关重要。尽管基于图的算法在精度与速度间取得良好平衡,但处理持续增删数据的动态数据集仍具挑战。本文提出动态探索图(DEG),是连续优化探索图的扩展,在保持静态数据高效率的同时,新增对动态数据的支持。DEG核心创新包括:一种保证图连通性的新型顶点删除算法,以及一种不依赖数据分布的图扩展方法。这些机制使DEG在持续数据变化下仍能维持均衡且高度连通的结构。在流式与在线场景下的实验证明,DEG在构建时间和搜索效率上均优于现有动态图算法。尽管专为动态数据优化,其在静态数据上的表现仍可媲美当前最先进方法,展现出广泛适用性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search (ANNS) represents a fundamental problem in various applications (image-search, recommendation systems). While graph-based algorithms have demonstrated a good balance between search accuracy and time, handling dynamic datasets, where data points are continuously added or removed, remains a challenge. This paper introduces the Dynamic Exploration Graph (DEG), an extension of the continuous refining Exploration Graph, which retains high search efficiency for static dataset while adding essential support for dynamic data. At the core of the DEG design are two key innovations: a novel vertex deletion algorithm which guarantees graph connectivity and a data distribution-agnostic method for graph expansion. Through these mechanisms, the DEG maintains a balanced and well-connected structure, even under continuous data alterations. Empirical experiments in both streaming and online scenarios demonstrate the superior performance of the DEG, surpassing existing dynamic graph algorithms in terms of construction time and search efficiency. Although optimized for dynamic datasets, the DEG delivers results as good as current state-of-the-art approaches for static dataset, underscoring its broad applicability.
