New approximate nearest neighbor benchmarks
Anyway, at some point I got a bit tired of reading papers of various algorithms claiming to be the fastest and most accurate, so I built a benchmark suite called ann-benchmarks. It pits a number of algorithms in a brutal showdown. I recently Dockerized it and wrote about it previously on this blog. So why am I blogging about it just three months later? Well…there's a lot of water under the bridge in the world of approximate nearest neighbors, so I decided to re-run the benchmarks and publish new results. I will probably do this a few times every year, at my own questionable discretion.
