Holo-NN: New algebraic framework for private nearest neighbor search

Researchers have introduced Holo-NN, a novel algebraic framework for privacy-preserving approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search in high-dimensional embeddings. This method replaces traditional branching operations, which are difficult to implement with fully homomorphic encryption, with a single linear projection. By combining compressive sensing with locality-preserving feature transforms, Holo-NN folds databases into a compact holographic sensing matrix, enabling encrypted searches through a single matrix-vector multiplication. This approach avoids complex cryptographic bootstrapping and multi-round interactions, making private retrieval an efficient, parallelizable computation suitable for both CPUs and GPUs. AI
