High-Dimensional Vector Similarity Search: From Time Series to Deep Network Embeddings

Summary: Survey of high-dimensional vector similarity search across modalities (time series, text, images, audio, graphs, deep embeddings). Distinguishes exact, ng-approximate, and delta-epsilon-approximate guarantees; unifies accuracy/efficiency tradeoffs and cross-domain benchmarking. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
