Xin-Chun Zhang updated LUCENE-9136:
-----------------------------------
Description:
Representation learning (RL) has been an established discipline in the machine
learning space for decades but it draws tremendous attention lately with the
emergence of deep learning. The central problem of RL is to determine an
optimal representation of the input data. By embedding the data into a high
dimensional vector, the vector retrieval (VR) method is then applied to search
the relevant items.
With the rapid development of RL over the past few years, the technique has
been used extensively in industry from online advertising to computer vision
and speech recognition. There exist many open source implementations of VR
algorithms, such as Facebook's FAISS and Microsoft's SPTAG, providing various
choices for potential users. However, the aforementioned implementations are
all written in C++, and no plan for supporting Java interface
[[https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/issues/105]].
The algorithms for vector retrieval can be roughly classified into four
categories,
# Tree-base algorithms, such as KD-tree;
# Hashing methods, such as LSH (Local Sensitive Hashing);
# Product quantization algorithms, such as IVFFlat;
# Graph-base algorithms, such as HNSW, SSG, NSG;
IVFFlat and HNSW are the most popular ones among all the algorithms. Recently,
implementation of ANN algorithms for Lucene, such as HNSW (Hierarchical
Navigable Small World, LUCENE-9004), has made great progress. IVFFlat requires
less memory and disks when compared with HNSW. And IVFFlat supports both online
and offline training.
I'm now working on the implementation of IVFFlat. And I will try my best to
reuse the excellent work by LUCENE-9004.
