This paper introduces the HNSW algorithm, which is widely adopted in vector databases and search engines for its efficient and robust performance on high-dimensional data. HNSW is foundational in powering modern vector search systems.
HNSWLIB is a C++ library with Python bindings for fast approximate nearest neighbor search using Hierarchical Navigable Small World (HNSW) graphs, commonly used in vector database backends.
