Throughout the library, vectors are provided as float * pointers. Most algorithms can be optimized when several vectors are processed (added/searched) together in a batch. In this case, they are passed in as a matrix. When n vectors of size d are provided as float * x, component j of vector i is

x[ i * d + j ]

where 0 <= i < n and 0 <= j < d. In other words, matrices are always compact. When specifying the size of the matrix, we call it an n*d matrix, which implies a row-major storage.

Since IVF (inverted file) indexes are of so much use for large-scale use cases, we group a few functions related to them in this small library. Most functions work both on IndexIVFs and IndexIVFs embedded within an IndexPreTransform.

Functions

void initialize_IVFPQ_precomputed_table(int &use_precomputed_table, const Index *quantizer, const ProductQuantizer &pq, AlignedTable<float> &precomputed_table, bool verbose)

Pre-compute distance tables for IVFPQ with by-residual and METRIC_L2

Parameters:

  • use_precomputed_table – (I/O) =-1: force disable =0: decide heuristically (default: use tables only if they are < precomputed_tables_max_bytes), set use_precomputed_table on output =1: tables that work for all quantizers (size 256 * nlist * M) =2: specific version for MultiIndexQuantizer (much more compact)

  • precomputed_table – precomputed table to initialize

Variables

FAISS_API size_t precomputed_table_max_bytes
FAISS_API int index_ivfpq_add_core_o_bs
FAISS_API IndexIVFPQStats indexIVFPQ_stats
struct IndexIVFPQ : public faiss::IndexIVF
#include <IndexIVFPQ.h>

Inverted file with Product Quantizer encoding. Each residual vector is encoded as a product quantizer code.

Subclassed by faiss::IndexIVFPQR

Public Functions

IndexIVFPQ(Index *quantizer, size_t d, size_t nlist, size_t M, size_t nbits_per_idx, MetricType metric = METRIC_L2)
virtual void encode_vectors(idx_t n, const float *x, const idx_t *list_nos, uint8_t *codes, bool include_listnos = false) const override

Encodes a set of vectors as they would appear in the inverted lists

Parameters:

  • list_nos – inverted list ids as returned by the quantizer (size n). -1s are ignored.

  • codes – output codes, size n * code_size

  • include_listno – include the list ids in the code (in this case add ceil(log8(nlist)) to the code size)

virtual void sa_decode(idx_t n, const uint8_t *bytes, float *x) const override

decode a set of vectors

Parameters:

  • n – number of vectors

  • bytes – input encoded vectors, size n * sa_code_size()

  • x – output vectors, size n * d

virtual void add_core(idx_t n, const float *x, const idx_t *xids, const idx_t *precomputed_idx) override

Implementation of vector addition where the vector assignments are predefined. The default implementation hands over the code extraction to encode_vectors.

Parameters:

precomputed_idx – quantization indices for the input vectors (size n)

void add_core_o(idx_t n, const float *x, const idx_t *xids, float *residuals_2, const idx_t *precomputed_idx = nullptr)

same as add_core, also:

  • output 2nd level residuals if residuals_2 != NULL

  • accepts precomputed_idx = nullptr

virtual void train_residual(idx_t n, const float *x) override

trains the product quantizer

void train_residual_o(idx_t n, const float *x, float *residuals_2)

same as train_residual, also output 2nd level residuals

virtual void reconstruct_from_offset(int64_t list_no, int64_t offset, float *recons) const override

Reconstruct a vector given the location in terms of (inv list index + inv list offset) instead of the id.

Useful for reconstructing when the direct_map is not maintained and the inv list offset is computed by search_preassigned() with store_pairs set.

size_t find_duplicates(idx_t *ids, size_t *lims) const

Find exact duplicates in the dataset.

the duplicates are returned in pre-allocated arrays (see the max sizes).

Parameters:

  • lims – limits between groups of duplicates (max size ntotal / 2 + 1)

  • ids – ids[lims[i]] : ids[lims[i+1]-1] is a group of duplicates (max size ntotal)

Returns:

n number of groups found

void encode(idx_t key, const float *x, uint8_t *code) const
void encode_multiple(size_t n, idx_t *keys, const float *x, uint8_t *codes, bool compute_keys = false) const

Encode multiple vectors

Parameters:

  • n – nb vectors to encode

  • keys – posting list ids for those vectors (size n)

  • x – vectors (size n * d)

  • codes – output codes (size n * code_size)

  • compute_keys – if false, assume keys are precomputed, otherwise compute them

void decode_multiple(size_t n, const idx_t *keys, const uint8_t *xcodes, float *x) const

inverse of encode_multiple

virtual InvertedListScanner *get_InvertedListScanner(bool store_pairs, const IDSelector *sel) const override

Get a scanner for this index (store_pairs means ignore labels)

The default search implementation uses this to compute the distances

void precompute_table()

build precomputed table
