Vector Index

A data structure that organizes embeddings for efficient similarity search.

Definition

Index types include flat (exact), HNSW (graph-based), IVF (cluster-based) and product-quantized indexes, trading recall, speed and memory.

Exam tip

Index choice trades recall, latency and memory; flat indexes are exact but slow at scale.
