What Limits Does Quantization Place on Dense Top-$k$ Retrieval? A Theoretical Study

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2606. 11780v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We establish conditions for embedding a corpus of $N$ documents as $d$-dimensional vectors such that every $k$-subset $S \subseteq [N]$ is realizable as a result of top-$k$ retrieval by some query vector.

Projection and Quantisation: A Unifying View of Learning to Hash, from Random Projections to the RAG Era

arXiv:2510. 04127v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Approximate nearest neighbour (ANN) search underpins large-scale retrieval, increasingly within the retrieval-augmented generation pipelines that ground large language models, yet the methods that address it have multiplied across communities until they are seldom read as a single field.

Actively Learning Halfspaces without Synthetic Data

arXiv:2509. 20848v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the classic point location problem, one is given an arbitrary dataset $X \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of $n$ points with query access to an unknown halfspace $f : \mathbb{R}^d \to \{0,1\}$, and the goal is to learn the label of every point in $X$.
