Can dense, sparse and multi-vector approximate nearest neighbor search live in a single Rust codebase? Modular and Efficient Approximate Nearest Neighbors Search with Vectorium and kANNolo 🧩 Overview Two Rust libraries: Vectorium for data management and kANNolo for indexing. Encoders and datasets are compile-time type parameters, so each combination is specialized at build time. 🎯 The problem ・Faiss has a separate code path per index/quantizer combination, which is hard to extend ・Other libraries factor out only the graph or only the quantization ・None handles all three embedding types behind one interface 🛠 Method ・11 encoders (PQ, RaBitQ, sparse, multi-vector, and more) ・Hnsw and IVF, plus a two-stage RerankIndex that pairs any first-stage index with any rescoring ・A structure-of-arrays PQ table layout makes table building 4.5-5.2x faster 📊 Results ・Up to 3.26x hnswlib's throughput at 99% accuracy (kANNolo-Rerank, dense data) ・Smallest memory on every sparse collection ・But Glass wins on AgNews, Seismic is faster on sparse data, and builds are not fast #ANNSearch# #Rust#

AI answers look right. But they’re often incomplete or just wrong. Short answers. Few sources. Not accurate. AnySearch pulls real-time data from multiple trusted sources into one view, so you get answers you can actually trust.

The future is being discussed online right now. So why are so many AI answers still based on old summaries? Most search tools give you conclusions. AnySearch shows you the conversation. Fresh discussions. New videos. Recent posts. Live sources. Because when you're asking about tomorrow, yesterday's answers aren't enough.
