Public Functions

inline explicit IndexIVFInterface(Index *quantizer = nullptr, size_t nlist = 0)
virtual void search_preassigned(idx_t n, const float *x, idx_t k, const idx_t *assign, const float *centroid_dis, float *distances, idx_t *labels, bool store_pairs, const IVFSearchParameters *params = nullptr, IndexIVFStats *stats = nullptr) const = 0

search a set of vectors, that are pre-quantized by the IVF quantizer. Fill in the corresponding heaps with the query results. The default implementation uses InvertedListScanners to do the search.

Parameters:
  • n – nb of vectors to query

  • x – query vectors, size nx * d

  • assign – coarse quantization indices, size nx * nprobe

  • centroid_dis – distances to coarse centroids, size nx * nprobe

  • distance – output distances, size n * k

  • labels – output labels, size n * k

  • store_pairs – store inv list index + inv list offset instead in upper/lower 32 bit of result, instead of ids (used for reranking).

  • params – used to override the object’s search parameters

  • stats – search stats to be updated (can be null)

virtual void range_search_preassigned(idx_t nx, const float *x, float radius, const idx_t *keys, const float *coarse_dis, RangeSearchResult *result, bool store_pairs = false, const IVFSearchParameters *params = nullptr, IndexIVFStats *stats = nullptr) const = 0

Range search a set of vectors, that are pre-quantized by the IVF quantizer. Fill in the RangeSearchResults results. The default implementation uses InvertedListScanners to do the search.

Parameters:
  • n – nb of vectors to query

  • x – query vectors, size nx * d

  • assign – coarse quantization indices, size nx * nprobe

  • centroid_dis – distances to coarse centroids, size nx * nprobe

  • result – Output results

  • store_pairs – store inv list index + inv list offset instead in upper/lower 32 bit of result, instead of ids (used for reranking).

  • params – used to override the object’s search parameters

  • stats – search stats to be updated (can be null)

inline virtual ~IndexIVFInterface()
void train_q1(size_t n, const float *x, bool verbose, MetricType metric_type)

Trains the quantizer and calls train_residual to train sub-quantizers.

size_t coarse_code_size() const

compute the number of bytes required to store list ids

void encode_listno(idx_t list_no, uint8_t *code) const
idx_t decode_listno(const uint8_t *code) const

Public Members

size_t nprobe = 1

number of probes at query time

size_t max_codes = 0

max nb of codes to visit to do a query

Index *quantizer = nullptr

quantizer that maps vectors to inverted lists

size_t nlist = 0

number of inverted lists

char quantizer_trains_alone = 0

= 0: use the quantizer as index in a kmeans training = 1: just pass on the training set to the train() of the quantizer = 2: kmeans training on a flat index + add the centroids to the quantizer

bool own_fields = false

whether object owns the quantizer

ClusteringParameters cp

to override default clustering params
