Struct faiss::Level1Quantizer

struct Level1Quantizer

Encapsulates a quantizer object for the IndexIVF

The class isolates the fields that are independent of the storage of the lists (especially training)

Subclassed by faiss::IndexIVFInterface, faiss::IndexShardsIVF

Public Functions

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

Level1Quantizer(Index *quantizer, size_t nlist)

Level1Quantizer()

~Level1Quantizer()

Public Members

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

Index *clustering_index = nullptr

to override index used during clustering
