SeRF: Segment Graph for Range-Filtering Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search

Summary: SeRF introduces a segment graph for range-filtering ANNS; for threshold ranges, the index time/size matches a single ANNS index, with lossless compression of n per-range indexes (Omega(n) savings). A 2D segment graph extends to general ranges, achieving average-case index size O(n log n) and breaking the quadratic barrier; extensive experiments on real data show superior performance and scalability.
