Learning Partition Trees for Nearest Neighbor Search
It is proved that without distributional assumptions, finding the optimal balanced halfspace is NP-hard, and an efficient improper learning algorithm is designed that outputs a balanced polynomial threshold function of degree 1 that cuts at most an $O(\sqrt{\alpha+\varepsilon})$ fraction.
