Given the resulting graph, Beaumont et al. [2007a] state and prove that the average number of hops taken by the best-first-search algorithm is poly- logarithmic. Before we discuss the claim, however, let us state a useful lemma.

.
Observe now that the distance between a point u and any point in the ball described in the lemma is at most (1 + β)δ(u, v). We can therefore see that the probability that the long-range end-point l... | 2401.09350#248 | Foundations of Vector Retrieval | Vectors are universal mathematical objects that can represent text, images,

2401.09350 | 249 | Proof. The proof follows the same reasoning as in the proof of Theorem 6.6. Suppose we are currently at node u and that uâ is our target node.

The results of Beaumont et al. [2007a] are encouraging.

The intuition is that, as the graph grows, ... | 2401.09350#252 | Foundations of Vector Retrieval | Vectors are universal mathematical objects that can represent text, images,
