New benchmarks for approximate nearest neighbors

One of my super nerdy interests include approximate algorithms for nearest neighbors in high-dimensional spaces. The problem is simple. You have say 1M points in some high-dimensional space. Now given a query point, can you find the nearest points out of…

LOL. Since 2007, I remember multiple presentations on major security conferences, with videos, including US-based ones, of people going through Border Control in US, UK, EU etc. with completely fake biometric passports (invalid signatures, issued by fictional countries, etc etc.) — and this memo says that at least US CBP *still*, in 2018, does not have software to verify them at all! This explains things %)
