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

Summary: Introduces MRNG, a low-degree monotonic graph with near-logarithmic ANNS search. Its practical approximation, NSG, jointly preserves connectivity, short paths, and compact indexing, enabling billion-scale deployment and outperforming prior graph methods.
