Pail: Efficient 𝑘 NN Search on Set-Valued Attributes

· 0 citations · 44 references

TL;DR

Pail is proposed, a 𝑘 NN search algo-rithm for sets that supports a wide range of similarity functions and implements the positional filter directly into a novel index structure to effectively prune candidates.

Grant: A Framework for Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search with Multi-Attribute Range Filters

Recently, academia and industry have considered the problem of approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS) with filters. In this setting, each object consists of a high-dimensional vector and attribute values. Given a query vector, filters for attribute values, and $k$, this problem retrieves $k$ vectors approximately n...

Fast Label-Filtering Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search via Progressive Label Set Stratification

Approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS) retrieves the most similar vectors to a query vector in high-dimensional space. Label-filtering ANNS (LFANNS) extends ANNS with a label filter that the labels of base vectors must satisfy a set relation (e.g., equality, containment, or overlap) with the query labels. Existing...

CGIF: Combining Proximity Graphs and Inverted Files for Efficient Filtered Vector Search over Arbitrary Predicates

Modern retrieval systems increasingly require filtered vector search under arbitrary predicate constraints, where users filter results by attributes such as category, price, location, keywords, and their combinations. Existing solutions either specialize in a single predicate type (e.g., range or equality filters), rel...

Better Nearest Neighbor Graph Indices via (Efficient) LLM-Guided Pruning

LLM-Guided Graph Pruning (LGP), a general framework that addresses this mismatch directly by leveraging LLM reasoning to refine an existing ANN graph index itself, and consistently improves end-to-end retrieval performance over both vanilla greedy graph search and LLM-based reranking across widely used graph-based ANN...

Cost-Sensitive Listwise Optimisation for Sensitivity-Aware Search

In typical search tasks, the goal is to return a list of k documents that are ordered by their relevance to a user-issued query. However, not all information that is contained in a collection should be made available to users i.e., sensitive information should not be revealed. Sensitivity-Aware Search (SAS) is a bi-obj...
