Before revision: Most of the efficient sublinear-time indexing algorithms for the high-dimensional nearest neighbor search problem (NNS) are based on space partitions of the ambient space \mathbb{R . Inspired by recent theoretical work on NNS for general metric spaces [Andoni, Naor, Nikolov, Razenshteyn, Waingarten STOC 2018, FOCS 2018], we develop a new framework for constructing such partitions that reduces the problem to balanced graph partitioning followed by supervised classification.
