HVS: Hierarchical Graph Structure Based on Voronoi Diagrams for Solving Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search

Summary: Proposes HVS, a hierarchical, multi-layer graph for approximate nearest neighbor search that partitions data into coarse-to-fine subspaces. Each layer uses a virtual Voronoi diagram to guide traversal, reducing per-hop cost and improving efficiency over existing graph-based ANNS. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
