Fast-Convergent Proximity Graphs for Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search

Summary: Introduces alpha-convergent graphs for ANN, a proximity-graph index with a pruning rule that yields polylog-time exact NN when the true NN lies within fixed radius tau, otherwise ANN under bounded intrinsic dimensionality. Practical alpha-CNG localizes pruning for scalable build/search and outperforms prior PG indexes in distance evals and steps. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Apr 11 2026)
