    About this tool

    Overview

    ScaNN (Scalable Nearest Neighbors) is a method for efficient vector similarity search at scale, developed by Google Research. It introduces innovative compression techniques and quantization methods to significantly improve search performance.

    Features

    • Anisotropic Vector Quantization: Unlike traditional quantization, ScaNN prioritizes preserving parallel components between vectors, ideal for Maximum Inner Product Search (MIPS)
    • Three-Phase Search: Partitioning, scoring with quantized vectors, and rescoring
    • High Performance: Handles roughly twice as many queries per second for a given accuracy compared to the next-fastest library
    • Open Source: Available on GitHub with comprehensive documentation
    • Easy Installation: Install via pip install scann

    Algorithms

    • Product Quantization with anisotropic loss
    • Tree-based partitioning (optional)
    • Asymmetric hashing
    • SOAR (Spilling with Orthogonality-Amplified Residuals) for improved efficiency

    Use Cases

    • Large-scale similarity search
    • Recommendation systems
    • Image retrieval
    • Document search
    • Neural search applications
