BBC: Improving Large-k Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search with a Bucket-based Result Collector

Summary: BBC targets the overlooked large-k regime in quantization-based ANN, where top-k maintenance and weak pruning dominate cost. Its distance-bucketed result buffer improves cache efficiency and candidate handling, while specialized re-ranking yields up to 3.8× speedups at 0.95 recall.
