Return of the Lernaean Hydra: Experimental Evaluation of Data Series Approximate Similarity Search

Summary: Taxonomy reconciling data-series and multidimensional-vector similarity, with indexing changes for approximate queries with guarantees. Study on synthetic/real data, in-memory and on-disk, showing data-series methods beat disk-based vector baselines and stay competitive in memory. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
