Maze is a web-scale video deduplication system that relies on large-scale approximate nearest neighbor vector search over video embeddings to detect and remove duplicate or near-duplicate videos efficiently. While not a general-purpose vector database, it represents a specialized, production-scale application of vector search infrastructure for multimedia content management.

This survey paper provides an overview of the landscape, technologies, and applications of vector databases, making it a valuable resource for understanding the field.

This ACL 2023 tutorial reviews retrieval-based language models, which often rely on vector databases and vector search systems to retrieve relevant context. The tutorial covers methods and applications central to the use of vector databases in modern NLP systems.
