Description
A bisector tree allows to do fast but exact nearest neighbor searches in any space provided that you can measure the distance between any two points in that space. A bisector tree also allows fast neighbor searches (range queries/ finding all points within a given tolerance from your query point). Cf. this article for details: 'A Data Structure and an Algorithm for the Nearest Point Problem'; Iraj Kalaranti and Gerard McDonald. ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/32/35936/01703102.pdf

Bisector tree implementation in OCaml.
A bisector tree allows to do fast and exact nearest neighbor searches in any space provided that you have a metric (function) to measure the distance between any two points in that space.
