Similarity search in the blink of an eye with compressed indices

Summary: LVQ—per-vector scaling plus scalar quantization—for graph-based indices, cuts memory and effective bandwidth with negligible accuracy loss to accelerate similarity computations. With a new high-performance graph engine, LVQ is SOTA on billion-scale search: up to 20.7× throughput with ~3× lower memory, and 5.8× with 1.4× memory savings.
