On the LSH Distortion of Ulam and Cayley Similarities

Locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) has found widespread use as a fundamental primitive, particularly to accelerate nearest neighbor search. An LSH scheme for a similarity function $S:\mathcal{X} \times \mathcal{X} \to [0,1]$ is a distribution over hash functions on $\mathcal{X}$ with the property that the probability of collision of any two elements $x,y\in ... more >>>
