FGBC-iDistance:fine-grained bit-code filter based high-dimensional index by Xin-pan YUAN, Can-fei WANG, Jun LONG, Cheng-yuan ZHANG, Jun-feng MAN

“…In the high-dimensional vector retrieval,distance computation is a very time-consuming operation,the current research trend is to reduce the distance computation using divide and conquer algorithm.iDistance algorithm divides the vector space into subspace of clustering by pivot,BC-iDistance algorithm divides the subspace into 2 partitions in each dimension.A more fine-grained partition algorithm and index structure was proposed,each part corresponded with a unique FGBC code (fine-grained bit code),which realized the candidate sets filtered more precisely.The distance computation times of FGBC-iDistance can be reduced to <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mfrac> <mn>1</mn> <mrow> <msup> <mn>2</mn> <mrow> <mn>2</mn><mi>d</mi></mrow> </msup> </mrow> </mfrac> </math></inline-formula> of iDistance.The distance computation frequency comparison:FGBC-iDistance≤BC-iDistance≤iDistance.The experiment results show that when the scope radius of the range query is 0.08,FGBC-iDistance distance computation times is about 20,000,which is far less than other algorithms,the running time is also reduced.…”

Ethical implications in the evaluation of complex contexts related to COVID-19 by Anthony Copez-Lonzoy, Ana L Vilela-Estrada, G.J. Meléndez-Torres

“…Conclusions: It is essential to have ethical procedures in the different phases of research that can go beyond personal interests and that guarantee the preservation of people's welfare in the reduction of possible damage to health globally, adequate procedures in the collection of information that is not built to the measure of the researchers, to avoid involuntary segregation of the participants and that this leads to a reduction of significant damage due to implicit biases that are generated by poor planning that pursues the scoop instead of social good.…”
