FeedbackBypass: A New Approach to Interactive Similarity Query Processing

Summary: FeedbackBypass persists feedback-driven parameters across sessions to skip relearning. A wavelet-based Simplex Tree stores configurations for bypass or near-optimal starts in high-dimensional similarity queries, with storage linear in dimensionality.
