Abstract: In this paper, we report progress on answering the open problem presented by Pagh~[14], who considered the nearest neighbor search without false negatives for the Hamming distance. We show new data structures for solving the c-approximate nearest neighbors problem without false negatives for Euclidean high dimensional space mathcalRd. These data structures work for any c=omega(sqrtloglogn), where n is the number of points in the input set, with poly-logarithmic query time and polynomial preprocessing time. This improves over the known algorithms, which require c to be Omega(sqrtd). This improvement is obtained by applying a sequence of reductions, which are interesting on their own. First, we reduce the problem to d instances of dimension logarithmic in n. Next, these instances are reduced to a number of c-approximate nearest neighbor search instances in space equipped with metric m(x,y)=max1leileL(lVertxiyiVert2).
