Description

A vantage point tree allows to do fast but 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.

A vantage point tree implementation in OCaml.

Cf. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.41.4193&rep=rep1&type=pdf for details.

A vantage point tree allows to do fast but exact nearest neighbor searches in any space provided that you have a distance function to measure the distance between any two points in that space.

This implementation might need some tweaks in case it is used to index a very large number of points (especially the select_vp function in the code).
