Fast Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search With The Navigating Spreading-out Graph

Summary: Introduces MRNG (Monotonic Relative Neighborhood Graph) with near-logarithmic ANNS search, and NSG (Navigating Spreading-out Graph) as a scalable MRNG-based approximation; focuses on connectivity, low out-degree, short search paths, and compact indexing. Empirical results on million- to billion-scale data show NSG beating baselines and deployed in Alibaba Taobao’s billion-scale search engine. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
