Can We Beat the Prefix Filtering? An Adaptive Framework for Similarity Join and Search

Summary: Adaptive framework for similarity join and search that selects per-object prefixes via a cost model, instead of fixed prefix-filtering. Efficient indexes enable dynamic prefix selection, yielding gains vs traditional prefix-filtering baselines. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
