Top-k Bounded Diversification

Summary: SPP (space-partitioning and probing) enables top-k diversification in low-dimensional spaces; exact MMR with far fewer accesses. Uses score- and distance-based access only, avoids full scans, and yields strong access reductions with low overhead on geo/Web data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
