Usage of the algorithms

Environment

gcc/g++ version: 7.4.0

OS: Ubuntu

Compile the algorithm

cd algorithm && make all

fesif: the FESI algorithm in the paper

chst: the algorithm of constructing an HST

Run the algorithm

1. First randomly construct several indexes of HST
cd ../dataset && python batchRunHST.py
batchRunHST.py: a python script to construct the HSTs

2. Run the FESI algorithm with the constructed HST
./fesif ./synData/location/mu100/loc_00.txt ./synData/6000_150_2_8_mu100/data_00.txt ./synHST/mu100/loc_00/hst_0000.txt loc_00.txt: the locations of all the metric spaces
data_00.txt: the information of the couriers and requests
hst_0000.txt: our index, HST

3. We also provide our python scripts to conveniently conduct all the experiments
cd ../dataset && python batchRunSyn.py
batchRunSyn.py: a python script to run the experiments on synthetic datasets cd ../dataset && python batchRunReal.py
batchRunReal.py: a python script to run the experiments on olist datasets

Description of the data generator

Environment

Python: 2.7

Run the scripts

caiData: the data of our real dataset Cainiao

caiHST: some samples of our HSTs for the Cainiao dataset

olistData: the data of our real dataset Olist

olistHST: some samples of our HSTs for the Olist dataset

synData: some samples of our synthetic dataset

synHST: some samples of our HSTs for the synthetic dataset

genDataSyn.py: a script to generate the synthetic datasets in the experiments

batchRunHST.py: a python script to construct the HSTs

batchRunSyn.py: a python script to run the experiments on synthetic datasets

batchRunOlist.py: a python script to run the experiments on Olist datasets
