Similarity search on neighbor's graphs with automatic Pareto optimal performance and minimum expected quality setups based on hyperparameter optimization

Eric S. Tellez, Guillermo Ruiz

This manuscript introduces an autotuned algorithm for searching nearest neighbors based on neighbor graphs and optimization metaheuristics to produce Pareto-optimal searches for quality and search speed automatically; the same strategy is also used to produce indexes that achieve a minimum quality. Our approach is described and benchmarked with other state-of-the-art similarity search methods, showing convenience and competitiveness.
