CF-Tree: a structure to fast index and retrieve multi-dimension data

Multi-dimension data retrieval has been one of the most popular research areas in the field of information retrieval for the last 10 years. The fast growing amounts of multimedia data and the development of the Internet right now need a general access method that offers a fast and effective way on multi-dimension data classification and retrieval. But up to now, no general breakthrough has been achieved with multi-dimension data classification. This paper presents CF-Tree, a new data structure for the classification and retrieval of multi-dimensional data. In fact the structure presents a relative good performance on recall rate and precision rate.
