Description

The authors of Data Mining: Practical machine Learning Tools and Techniques suggests using Ball Trees. Each node of a Ball tree describes a bounding sphere, using a centre and a radius. To make the search efficient, the nodes should use the minimal sphere that completely contains all of its children, and overlaps the least with other sibling spheres in the tree.
