In practice, vector retrieval often uses approximate nearest neighbor algorithms such as HNSW and IVF to trade off between recall and speed, rather than brute-force computing all vectors.

UnverifiedThe core principle of vector search is to convert text into high-dimensional numerical vectors via an embedding model, and then use approximate nearest neighbor algorithms (such as HNSW or IVF) to find the closest candidates.77% similarUnverifiedHNSW is a hierarchical navigable small world index structure that belongs to the approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) strategy, trading a small amount of recall accuracy for order-of-magnitude speed improvements.67% similarUnverifiedHNSW achieves logarithmic retrieval complexity by constructing a multi-layer graph structure, maintaining millisecond-level response times on million-scale vectors, and is one of the ANN algorithms with the best overall performance66% similarUnverifiedWhen selecting a local model, looking at activated parameters is more reflective of actual speed performance than looking at total parameters.66% similarUnverifiedThe HNSW algorithm constructs a multi-layer graph structure that enables approximate nearest neighbor search in logarithmic time complexity.65% similar
