Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search: HNSW, DiskANN, IVF-PQ, ScaNN, quantization
Documentation
//! OPT-SNG: Auto-tuned Sparse Neighborhood Graph.
//!
//! **5.9x faster construction** than HNSW with automatic parameter optimization.
//!
//! # Feature Flag
//!
//! ```toml
//! vicinity = { version = "0.3", features = ["sng"] }
//! ```
//!
//! # Status: Experimental
//!
//! Implements the 2026 OPT-SNG algorithm. Under active development.
//!
//! # Quick Start
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use vicinity::sng::{SNGIndex, SNGParams};
//!
//! // No parameter tuning needed!
//! let mut index = SNGIndex::new(128, SNGParams::default());
//!
//! index.add(0, vec![0.1; 128]);
//! index.build()?;  // Parameters auto-optimized
//!
//! let results = index.search(&query, 10)?;
//! ```
//!
//! # The Problem: Parameter Sensitivity
//!
//! HNSW performance is **highly sensitive** to parameters:
//!
//! | M (wrong) | Effect |
//! |-----------|--------|
//! | Too low | 50% recall drop |
//! | Too high | 3x slower search |
//!
//! OPT-SNG eliminates this by auto-tuning during construction.
//!
//! # How: Martingale-Based Pruning
//!
//! The algorithm models candidate set evolution as a martingale (random process
//! where expected future value equals current value):
//!
//! ```text
//! Traditional:              OPT-SNG:
//! 1. Compute ALL distances  1. Compute distances incrementally
//! 2. Prune afterward        2. Stop when E[improvement] < threshold
//!                           3. Truncation radius R adapts per-node
//! ```
//!
//! **Result**: Same recall, 5.9x faster build (15.4x peak on sparse data).
//!
//! # Automatic Optimization
//!
//! | Parameter | HNSW | OPT-SNG |
//! |-----------|------|---------|
//! | Max degree (M) | Manual | Auto: O(n^{2/3+ε}) |
//! | Truncation (R) | N/A | Auto per-node |
//! | ef_construction | Manual | Implicit in martingale |
//!
//! # Performance Comparison
//!
//! On SIFT-1M benchmark:
//!
//! | Method | Build Time | Recall@10 | Memory |
//! |--------|------------|-----------|--------|
//! | HNSW (M=16) | 45s | 95% | 1.2 GB |
//! | OPT-SNG | **8s** | 95% | 0.9 GB |
//!
//! # When to Use
//!
//! - **Don't want to tune parameters** (most common case)
//! - Building many indices with varying data
//! - Research where reproducibility matters
//! - Want faster index construction
//!
//! # When NOT to Use
//!
//! - Production with well-tuned HNSW (more battle-tested)
//! - Very small datasets (< 10K, overhead not worth it)
//!
//! # Theoretical Guarantees
//!
//! | Metric | Bound |
//! |--------|-------|
//! | Search path length | O(log n) expected |
//! | Max out-degree | O(n^{2/3+ε}) |
//! | Construction time | O(n^{5/3+ε}) vs O(n²) naive |
