Locality-sensitive Hashing In Function Spaces

Will Shand, Stephen Becker Β· Arxiv Β· 2020

We discuss the problem of performing similarity search over function spaces. To perform search over such spaces in a reasonable amount of time, we use {\it locality-sensitive hashing} (LSH). We present two methods that allow LSH functions on (\mathbb{R}^N) to be extended to (L^p) spaces: one using function approximation in an orthonormal basis, and another using (quasi-)Monte Carlo-style techniques. We use the presented hashing schemes to construct an LSH family for Wasserstein distance over one-dimensional, continuous probability distributions.
