Hashing-based approximate [[nearest-neighbor search]] algorithms generally use one of two main categories of hashing methods: either data-independent methods, such as locality-sensitive hashing (LSH); or data-dependent methods, such as [[locality-preserving hashing]] (LPH).<ref>{{cite conference |last1=Zhao |first1=Kang |last2=Lu |first2=Hongtao |last3=Mei |first3=Jincheng |title=Locality Preserving Hashing |conference=AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence | volume=28 | year=2014 |url=https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/AAAI/article/view/9133/8992 |pages=2874–2880}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Tsai |first1=Yi-Hsuan |last2=Yang |first2=Ming-Hsuan |title=2014 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP) |chapter=Locality preserving hashing |date=October 2014 |pages=2988–2992 |doi=10.1109/ICIP.2014.7025604 |isbn=978-1-4799-5751-4 |s2cid=8024458 |issn=1522-4880}}</ref>
