Revisiting the Index Construction of Proximity Graph-Based Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search

Summary: Diagnoses superlinear construction bottlenecks in proximity-graph (RNG, NSWG) indexes for k-ANN at scale. Introduces a pruning-based edge-selection construction framework (applied to RNG and integrated into NSWG) that cuts build time up to 5.6× while preserving k-ANN effectiveness.
