yo-vector 0.3.13

//! RaBitQ, the quantiser the searchable form of a vector is written in
//! (`10` section 3).
//!
//! A 768 dimensional embedding is 3072 bytes of `f32`, and ten million of them
//! is 30 GB. RaBitQ writes the same vector as one bit per dimension, which is 96
//! bytes and a 32x reduction, and that is the difference between an index that
//! sits in memory and one that does not.
//!
//! Binary quantisation on its own is old and it is not good enough: keeping only
//! the sign of each coordinate throws away how far the point is from the
//! boundary, and the distances that come back are biased in a way that no amount
//! of rerank hides. RaBitQ's contribution is the estimator. It stores one extra
//! number per vector, the cosine between the vector and the corner of the cube
//! it was rounded to, and dividing by that turns a biased guess into an unbiased
//! one with an error bound that shrinks as `1/sqrt(D)`. The ordering that comes
//! out of the codes alone is then good enough that rerank only has to look at a
//! small multiple of `k` real vectors.
//!
//! ```
//! use yo_vector::{Bits, Quantizer};
//!
//! let q = Quantizer::new(64, Bits::One, 7);
//! let centroid = vec![0.0f32; 64];
//! let mut code = vec![0u8; q.code_bytes()];
//!
//! let v: Vec<f32> = (0..64).map(|i| (i as f32 * 0.37).sin()).collect();
//! let coded = q.encode(&v, &centroid, &mut code);
//!
//! // The query is prepared once and then measured against many codes.
//! let query = q.query(&v, &centroid);
//! let guess = query.distance(&code, &coded);
//! // A vector against itself, so the answer should be near zero.
//! assert!(guess < 0.2, "{guess}");
//! ```
//!
//! # What is stored
//!
//! Per vector: the code, and two `f32`. The first is the length of the residual,
//! which is the vector minus its partition's centroid, and it is what turns an
//! angle in the unit sphere back into a distance. The second is the correction,
//! which is the estimator, and it is kept as its reciprocal because the
//! estimator only ever divides by it. `10` section 3's table says one `f32` and
//! it is two,
//! because both are needed and neither can be recovered from the other. Eight
//! bytes on top of 96 is still a 30x reduction rather than 32x.
//!
//! # One bit and four
//!
//! [`Bits::One`] rounds each coordinate to a sign and [`Bits::Four`] rounds it
//! to one of sixteen levels between the smallest and the largest coordinate the
//! vector has. Four bits is four times the index and roughly a quarter of the
//! error, and which one a collection wants is a question about the embedding
//! family rather than about the engine, which is why both are here and the
//! choice is per collection.
//!
//! The two share one code path. Reconstructing a code is `lo + level * delta`
//! either way, with `lo` and `delta` fixed by the dimension for one bit and
//! measured per vector for four, so the estimator is written once and the only
//! thing that changes is how many bits a level takes.
//!
//! # A code is bit planes, and that is what makes the scan fast
//!
//! The obvious layout writes a coordinate's level in the bits next to it, and
//! then measuring a code against a query is a multiply per dimension. That is
//! 768 multiplies per candidate and it does not fit inside a millisecond search.
//!
//! So a code is stored transposed. Plane `b` holds bit `b` of every
//! coordinate's level, one bit per coordinate, `dim` bits rounded up to whole
//! 64 bit words, and the planes run least significant first. A one bit code is
//! one plane and a four bit code is four, and the byte count is the same either
//! way.
//!
//! The query is quantised to [`Bits::query_bits`] and transposed the same way.
//! Then the sum of the code's levels times the query's levels is
//!
//! ```text
//! sum over a, b of 2^(a+b) * popcount(code plane a AND query plane b)
//! ```
//!
//! which is four ANDs and four popcounts per word for a one bit code, against
//! 64 float multiplies for the same 64 coordinates. The sums are exact
//! integers, so the arithmetic is also better behaved than the float version it
//! replaces, and nothing is left to round until the end.
//!
//! # The query is quantised finer than the code
//!
//! Quantising the query costs accuracy, and how much was measured rather than
//! assumed. At one bit the query at four bits is off by about a third of what
//! the code itself is off by, which is lost in the quadrature and does not
//! matter. At four bits the code is ten times more accurate and the same four
//! bit query is off by four times as much as the code, which throws away the
//! entire reason anyone would pay for four bit codes.
//!
//! So the query width follows the code width: four bits against a one bit code
//! and eight against a four bit one. That puts the query's error back at about
//! a third of the code's in both cases, and [`Query::cosine`] against
//! [`Query::cosine_exact`] is the test that holds it there.
