Slipstream method boosts streaming ANNS throughput by 30x

Researchers have developed Slipstream, a novel method designed to accelerate approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS) in streaming vector data. This approach leverages the continuity of vector streams by initiating searches from promising candidates identified during previous insertions, rather than starting from scratch. Slipstream has been integrated into popular libraries like Faiss and HNSWLib, demonstrating up to 30.8 times higher throughput while maintaining a recall rate of at least 0.95. AI

IMPACT Accelerates real-time vector search for applications like recommendation systems and similarity matching.

    Slipstream: Locality-Aware Graph Index Construction for Streaming Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search

    Graph indexes are widely used for high-recall approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS), but many real-time applications require streaming ANNS. In these real-time applications, continuously arriving embeddings must search the existing graph for candidate neighbors before updati…
