Pigeonring: A Principle for Faster Thresholded Similarity Search

Summary: Pigeonring strengthens pigeonhole-based filtering for thresholded similarity search by constraining item counts across multiple ring-organized partitions. A universal framework and minor algorithmic modifications deliver faster candidate generation and superior performance on real datasets. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
