arXiv:2608. 15438v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Building approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) indexes at billion scale is often dominated by expensive global clustering or graph construction, making time-to-index a first-order systems concern.

arXiv:2606. 30473v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study retrieval over catalogs of structured metadata, where each record is a small schema whose fields answer different kinds of query.

arXiv:2607. 07144v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The key-value (KV) cache dominates the memory cost of long-context autoregressive inference, and a growing body of work compresses it through quantization, eviction, or offloading.

Semantic hashing methods for generating short binary hash codes that allow efficient approximate nearest neighbor search in high-dimensional data spaces have gained extensive consideration in recent years. Deep learning-based methods offer better semantic capturing capabilities than traditional approaches relying on manual feature engineering.
arXiv:2606. 18379v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph-based retrieval at billion-node scale requires jointly solving three tightly coupled problems -- graph construction, representation learning, and real-time serving -- yet existing work addresses each in isolation.

arXiv:2510. 00566v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Approximate Nearest-Neighbor Search (ANNS) pipelines for high-dimensional neural embeddings spend the bulk of their query time in candidate verification, making it the primary bottleneck in the search process.

arXiv:2607. 12188v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enterprise Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) deployments face a critical governance gap: while LLM generation cost is metered per token, the retrieval layer - vector memory, similarity compute, and embedding API calls - remains an unattributed shared cost, enabling invisible cross-subsidization among tenants.

arXiv:2607. 11933v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-encoders achieve high reranking accuracy in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines but impose quadratic inference costs that limit real-time deployment.

arXiv:2606. 13871v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular data embeddings have become a cornerstone of data profiling and data integration pipelines, enabling tasks such as entity annotation and resolution; schema matching; column type detection; and table search, among others.

arXiv:2607. 01065v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) with extended context windows is increasingly constrained by the linear growth of Key-Value (KV) cache memory.
