BET 5 (SepRAG #534): PQ/IVFADC within-list pruning vs tuned IVF nprobe — scale-gated WIN (ADR-206) (#542)
* docs(bet4): pre-register LB-B&B IVF vs plain-IVF nprobe gate (FROZEN)
Closes the BET 4 caveat left open by ADR-201: the region-pruning IVF
kernel was only run against ACORN (BET 2), never against its natural
incumbent, plain IVF nprobe, on unfiltered ANN. Frozen gate: WIN = >=2x
member-scan reduction at matched recall@10 (R=0.95) AND wall-clock win
across nclusters in {64,256,1024}; KILL = <1.5x or wall-clock reverses.
Two controls: exact-vs-exact pruning-fraction probe + low-d (PCA-8)
soundness control. Honest prior: NO-GO lean (128-d concentration makes
the triangle-inequality bound loose) — the IVF-level companion to
ADR-199. Branch off clean main; B&B kernel rebuilt self-contained
(BET 2's lives only on #536).
* feat(bet4): M0 — self-contained BnBIvf kernel + oracle gate (exactness certified)
New crate ruvector-bet4-ivf-bench (deps: ruvector-rairs, rand).
- data.rs: aligned arxiv 128-d feature CSV loader.
- kernel.rs: BnBIvf — IVF probed in ascending lower-bound order with B&B
early termination (break when LB >= kth-best); LB(q,c)=max(0,|q-mu_c|-r_c),
r_c=max member radius. Full budget = exact; max_probe cap = nprobe analogue.
Built on ruvector-rairs kmeans so it shares centroids with the IvfFlat
incumbent (shared-index pre-reg requirement).
- oracle.rs: brute-force exact kNN + recall@k + shared true-L2 helper.
- M0 gate test PASSES on real arxiv slice: full-budget B&B == oracle
(recall@10 >= 0.999) → B&B invariant certified. clippy clean.
Frozen gate: docs/plans/bet4-ivf-pruning/PRE-REGISTRATION.md. Off clean main.
* feat(bet4): M1 — instrumented plain-IVF incumbent on shared index + faithfulness gate
BnBIvf::search_nprobe: the plain-IVF incumbent strategy (nprobe nearest
centroids, scan all members, no B&B) on the SAME centroids/lists as the
B&B contender, with member-eval counting. Refactored top-k accumulation
into shared consider()/finalize() so both strategies accumulate
identically and only the probe loop differs (shared-index pre-reg
requirement). New gate instrumented_nprobe_matches_rairs PASSES: recall
matches ruvector-rairs::IvfFlat within 0.01 at matched params → the
cost-measured incumbent is algorithmically the real one. 3 tests green.
* feat(bet4): M2/M3 — steelman B&B + PCA-8 control + matched-recall sweep
- kernel: search_bnb_skip — the STEELMAN. Centroid-distance order (the
effective nprobe ordering) + per-cluster LB-skip (correctness-safe in
any order, unlike the LB-order global break). The strongest cluster-level
B&B: if it can't beat tuned nprobe, the bound doesn't pay.
- pca: minimal power-iteration top-m PCA (no linalg dep) for the low-dim
control — projects real arxiv features to 8-d where the bound is tight.
- examples/ivf_pruning_sweep: 3 contenders share one index per nclusters
(plain nprobe / B&B LB-order / B&B steelman) x 2 regimes (128-d, PCA-8),
exact-regime pruning probe, matched-recall@0.95, frozen-gate verdict.
RESULT (n=20k & n=50k both): steelman = 1.00x evals vs nprobe in EVERY
cell, BOTH regimes. NO-GO. Mechanism is structural, not dimensional: the
LB bound only prunes FAR clusters that tuned nprobe already skips, so it's
redundant with nprobe's centroid-distance cutoff. Exact-prune fraction
scales correctly with dim (0-13% @128-d, 8-87% @PCA-8) => kernel sound;
the redundancy is fundamental. LB-ORDER (faithful BET-2 kernel) is strictly
WORSE (0.18-0.25x) — LB-ordering probes far large-radius clusters early.
* docs(bet4): ADR-205 — cluster-pruning vs plain IVF nprobe = structural NO-GO
Verdict: NO-GO (robust, structural). Steelman B&B (centroid order +
LB-skip) ties tuned nprobe at exactly 1.00x member-evals in every cell,
n=20k & n=50k, 128-d & PCA-8. Mechanism: the triangle-inequality bound
only prunes FAR clusters that tuned nprobe already skips => redundant with
nprobe's centroid-distance cutoff; win is structurally impossible, not
just hard in high-d. LB-order (faithful BET-2 kernel) strictly worse
(0.18-0.25x). Companion to ADR-199.
Honest deviation recorded: the pre-registered PCA-8 control expected a B&B
WIN (tight bound). It tied instead — the premise was false (tight bound
beats full-scan, not tuned nprobe). Control still valid: exact-prune
fraction scales correctly with dim (0-13% @128-d, 8-82% @PCA-8) => kernel
sound; it revealed the structural redundancy. Scoreboard 2 WINS / 4 KILLS.
* chore(bet4): lockfile for ruvector-bet4-ivf-bench workspace member
* docs(bet5): FROZEN pre-registration — PQ/IVFADC within-list pruning vs tuned nprobe
Opens the one lever ADR-205 left explicitly open (within-list PQ asymmetric
distance, orthogonal to the killed cluster-level bound). Frozen gate: PQ must
beat the cheaper of {plain full-L2, early-abandon exact-L2} nprobe by >=2x
full-L2-equivalent member-evals at recall@10=0.95 AND wall-clock, across
nclusters{64,256,1024} at >=1 scale N>=50k. Honest prior: ~55% win-at-scale,
named kill-paths = amortization crossover + concentration re-rank ceiling.
Stacked on feat/seprag-bet4-ivf-pruning to reuse ruvector-bet4-ivf-bench.
Thread #534.
* feat(bet5): M0 — PqIvf (IVFADC) kernel + early-abandon steelman + gate
PqIvf trains m sub-quantizers on the shared ruvector-rairs k-means substrate
(kmeans assignments ARE the PQ codes), encodes corpus to m-byte codes, and adds
search_adc_rerank (cheap ADC scan of nprobe lists + exact L2 re-rank of top-R)
plus search_adc_only (pure-ADC ceiling probe). AdcCost charges everything in one
honest unit: 256 (LUT) + adc_members*m/D + rerank*1 full-L2-equivalents.
BnBIvf gains search_nprobe_abandon = the early-abandon exact-L2 steelman
incumbent (user-confirmed verdict-setter), charged in dims_touched/D.
Gates (real 2k arxiv slice): PqIvf shares centroids w/ BnBIvf; PQ@full-rerank
exact (recall>=0.999); early-abandon exact vs full L2 (<0.001). 6 tests green,
clippy clean. Thread #534, BET5 pre-reg frozen at 1d920b3a.
* feat(bet5): M1/M2/M3 — matched-recall PQ sweep harness
examples/pq_pruning_sweep.rs: shared index per nclusters; tune incumbent nprobe
to min reaching recall@10>=0.95; PQ scans the SAME nprobe lists (cannot rerank an
unscanned neighbour) and we tune the smallest re-rank R recovering >=0.95. Charges
all PQ ops in full-L2-equivalents (256 LUT + adc*m/D + R rerank). Reports pure-ADC
ceiling, R*, early-abandon dim-prune fraction, wall-clock, crossover n*, frozen gate.
Thread #534.
* style(bet5): clippy-clean PQ kernel + sweep (iterator idioms, type alias)
* perf(bet5): shared IvfParts — build k-means once per cell, not per contender
Extract build_ivf -> IvfParts; BnBIvf::from_parts + PqIvf::from_parts reuse one
seeded k-means for the incumbent and every PQ(m). Cuts the worst cell (nc=1024
@100k) from 3x k-means to 1x while guaranteeing the shared-index property by
construction. Behavior-preserving (N=5000 numbers identical). 6 tests green.
* fix(bet5): charge routing (nclusters centroid evals) to both contenders
Pre-reg accounting + 'no free routing' adversarial check require the nclusters
query-centroid routing evals charged equally to incumbent AND PQ. Harness omitted
it, silently flattering PQ where routing dominates (high nclusters). Now prints
member-only ratio (transparency) AND the gate-deciding TOTAL ratio with routing;
verdict decided on total. Wall-clock already included routing (search computes
centroid dists) so the wall guard was already honest. Re-run authoritative.
* docs(bet5): ADR-206 — PQ/IVFADC within-list pruning = scale-gated WIN
Opens ADR-205's one open lever (within-list PQ asymmetric distance, orthogonal
to the killed cluster-level bound). PQ (cheap ADC scan + exact top-R rerank)
beats tuned plain nprobe AND the early-abandon exact-L2 steelman by >=2x
full-L2-equivalent member-evals at recall@10=0.95 AND wall-clock, across all
three nclusters{64,256,1024} at N=100k. Win GROWS with N, crossover n* RISES
with nclusters (routing amortization) -> >=2x at nclusters~sqrt(n) from n~20-50k.
Honest caveats (none buried): win rides on the exact rerank not pure ADC
(ceiling ~0.5) = IVFADC+refine validated, not a new method; scale-gated (full
sweep only at 100k); nc=1024/100k knife-edge 2.03x; m=16 tuned; recall-floor
tunability flatters PQ modestly; steelman halved the naive-L2 ratio. Routing
charge bug in my own harness caught by the pre-registered 'no free routing'
check (nc=1024/50k 2.24x member -> 1.65x total). Scoreboard 3 WINS / 4 KILLS.
Thread #534, pre-reg frozen at 1d920b3a.

# ADR-205 — Triangle-Inequality Cluster Pruning vs Tuned Plain IVF `nprobe` (Structural NO-GO)
|
||||
|
||||
## Status
|
||||
|
||||
**Proposed — NO-GO (robust, structural), 2026-06-05.** Closes the BET 4 caveat left open by
|
||||
ADR-201: the region-pruning IVF kernel (`RegionPruneIvf`) was built and validated *exact* there but
|
||||
only ever run as BET 2's mechanism **against ACORN** — never head-to-head against its natural
|
||||
incumbent, **plain IVF `nprobe`**, on unfiltered ANN. This is that head-to-head. The gate was
|
||||
**pre-registered and frozen before any run** (`docs/plans/bet4-ivf-pruning/PRE-REGISTRATION.md`).
|
||||
|
||||
**Lower-bound branch-and-bound IVF probing provides essentially zero benefit over a tuned plain
|
||||
`nprobe` — a flat 1.00× member-eval ratio in every cell, at both n=20k and n=50k, in both 128-d and
|
||||
a PCA-8 low-dim control.** The cause is **structural, not dimensional**: the triangle-inequality
|
||||
cluster bound can only prune *far* clusters, which a tuned `nprobe` already never visits — so the
|
||||
bound is **redundant** with `nprobe`'s centroid-distance cutoff. High dimensionality only makes the
|
||||
faithful BET-2 kernel (which probes in *LB order*) strictly **worse** (0.18–0.25×).
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
`ruvector-rairs::IvfFlat` (ADR-193) is plain IVF: k-means centroids + inverted lists;
|
||||
`search(q, k, nprobe)` scans all members of the `nprobe` nearest-centroid lists. BET 4 asked whether
|
||||
adding a triangle-inequality lower bound — `LB(q,c) = max(0, ‖q−μ_c‖ − r_c)`, `r_c` the cluster
|
||||
radius — and probing with branch-and-bound (skip/stop on clusters that provably cannot hold a
|
||||
top-k point) beats tuned `nprobe` at matched recall@10, on real 128-d arxiv embeddings.
|
||||
|
||||
The kernel was rebuilt self-contained (`crates/ruvector-bet4-ivf-bench`), off clean `main`, over the
|
||||
same `ruvector-rairs` k-means substrate as the incumbent (BET 2's kernel lives only on the #536
|
||||
branch). Two correctness gates passed before any claim: full-budget B&B is **exact** (recall ≥ 0.999
|
||||
vs brute force), and the instrumented incumbent **matches `IvfFlat`** within 0.01 recall at matched
|
||||
params (so its measured cost is the real incumbent's).
|
||||
|
||||
Three contenders share one index per `nclusters` (only the probe loop differs):
|
||||
- **plain `nprobe`** — the incumbent.
|
||||
- **B&B LB-order** — the faithful BET-2 `RegionPruneIvf`: probe in ascending `LB`, global `break`
|
||||
when `LB ≥ τ` (exact at full budget).
|
||||
- **B&B steelman** — centroid-distance order (the effective `nprobe` ordering, so τ tightens fast)
|
||||
+ per-cluster **LB-skip** (correctness-safe in any order). The *strongest* cluster-level B&B: if
|
||||
it cannot beat `nprobe`, the bound does not pay.
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision / Finding
|
||||
|
||||
**NO-GO.** Cost at matched recall@10 = 0.95, 200 queries; member distance-evals per query
|
||||
(steelman is the strongest contender, so it sets the verdict):
|
||||
|
||||
**n = 50,000, 128-d (real arxiv features):**
|
||||
|
||||
| nclusters | exact-prune | plain `nprobe` | B&B LB-order | **B&B steelman** | steelman ratio |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| 64 | 0.0% | 11,102 ev | 49,182 (recall 0.99) | **11,102** | **1.00×** |
|
||||
| 256 | 4.7% | 7,890 ev | 49,979 (recall 1.00) | **7,890** | **1.00×** |
|
||||
| 1024 | 13.1% | 5,682 ev | 45,373 (recall 1.00) | **5,682** | **1.00×** |
|
||||
|
||||
**n = 50,000, PCA-8 (low-dim control — bound is tight here):**
|
||||
|
||||
| nclusters | exact-prune | plain `nprobe` | **B&B steelman** | steelman ratio |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| 64 | 8.0% | 4,393 ev | **4,393** | **1.00×** |
|
||||
| 256 | 45.1% | 1,835 ev | **1,835** | **1.00×** |
|
||||
| 1024 | 82.5% | 731 ev | **731** | **1.00×** |
|
||||
|
||||
n=20k reproduces identically (steelman 1.00× in all six cells). Wall-clock tracks the eval ratio
|
||||
(0.94–1.02×) — no reversal, but no win either.
|
||||
|
||||
**Mechanism (structural, the key result).** The true top-k neighbours live in the *nearest*
|
||||
clusters; any method must scan those members to find them. The LB bound only lets B&B *skip far
|
||||
clusters* — but a tuned `nprobe` already does not visit them. So at matched recall the steelman
|
||||
scans **exactly** the members `nprobe` scans (the near clusters all have `LB < τ`, so nothing is
|
||||
skipped inside the operating budget) → 1.00×, **in every dimension**. The win is not "hard"; it is
|
||||
**structurally impossible** against a tuned incumbent, because the bound and `nprobe`'s
|
||||
centroid-distance cutoff exploit the *same* locality.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why the LB-order kernel is strictly worse (0.18–0.25×).** Ordering clusters by `LB = max(0, d −
|
||||
r_c)` pushes any *large-radius* cluster toward `LB ≈ 0` regardless of how far its centroid is, so
|
||||
B&B probes far, low-yield clusters early and needs ~all clusters to reach 0.95. LB-order is correct
|
||||
for *exact* early termination but a poor *priority* for approximate probing — centroid distance is
|
||||
better. High-dimensional concentration (large radii) makes this pathology severe.
|
||||
|
||||
## The pre-registered low-dim control — an honest deviation
|
||||
|
||||
The frozen pre-registration expected the **PCA-8 control to show B&B *winning*** ("tight bound ⇒
|
||||
B&B beats tuned `nprobe`; if it does not win even at 8-d, the implementation is suspect"). **It did
|
||||
not** — the steelman is 1.00× at PCA-8 too. That expectation was built on a **false premise**: a
|
||||
tight bound implies beating *full exact scan*, **not** beating *tuned `nprobe`*. The control still
|
||||
did its real job two ways, so the 128-d NO-GO is **interpretable, not voided**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **The kernel is sound.** The exact-regime pruning fraction scales correctly and strongly with
|
||||
dimension — 0–13% at 128-d vs 8–82.5% at PCA-8 (n=50k). The bound *does* prune hard when it can;
|
||||
the harness measures it correctly. The implementation is not suspect.
|
||||
2. **It replaced the predicted mechanism with a better one.** The control is what revealed the kill
|
||||
is *structural redundancy* (dimension-independent), not *dimensional looseness*. The bound prunes
|
||||
87% of clusters vs full-scan at PCA-8 yet still ties `nprobe`, because `nprobe`'s tuning already
|
||||
captures that same pruning.
|
||||
|
||||
Recording the deviation — the control disproved my predicted sign and taught the real finding — is
|
||||
the point, per the prove-not-hype protocol (cf. ADR-203's three documented deviations).
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
**Positive (a clean, general kill).**
|
||||
- **Companion to ADR-199.** Classical exact-pruning structures do not pay on embedding retrieval:
|
||||
graph separators/contraction there (high treewidth), triangle-inequality cluster bounds here
|
||||
(redundant with `nprobe`). The kills keep sharpening *where* these ideas work — and IVF `nprobe`
|
||||
is simply already near-optimal at exploiting cluster locality.
|
||||
- **No code to ship, and that is the right outcome.** `ruvector-rairs::IvfFlat` needs no B&B add-on;
|
||||
the result protects it from a complexity-adding non-improvement.
|
||||
|
||||
**Boundaries / honest caveats.**
|
||||
- **Scope: cluster-level bounds vs tuned `nprobe`, recall@10 ≈ 0.95.** This does **not** speak to
|
||||
finer techniques — IVFADC / product-quantized asymmetric distance, per-member bounds, or learned
|
||||
routing — which prune *within* lists by a different mechanism and are outside the frozen claim.
|
||||
- **The structural argument predicts the same sign at other recall targets** (neighbours still live
|
||||
in the near clusters at R=0.99), but only R=0.95 was measured.
|
||||
- **`nprobe` is the right incumbent precisely because it is already tuned.** Against an *untuned*
|
||||
full-exact-scan baseline the bound wins (that is the exact-prune fraction) — but that baseline is
|
||||
not what anyone ships.
|
||||
|
||||
## Scoreboard
|
||||
|
||||
**2 WINS** (ADR-200/202 reuse+periodic; ADR-204 incremental high-recall tier) /
|
||||
**4 KILLS** (ADR-199 CCH-on-embeddings; ADR-201 filtered-ANN vs ACORN; ADR-203 KG-treewidth;
|
||||
ADR-205 IVF cluster-pruning vs `nprobe`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Next steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. If IVF acceleration is ever revisited, the open lever is **within-list** pruning
|
||||
(PQ/IVFADC asymmetric distance), a different mechanism than the cluster-level bound killed here.
|
||||
2. None for this kernel — the structural redundancy is dimension-independent and reproduced at two
|
||||
scales; further `n`/recall sweeps would only reconfirm.
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternatives considered
|
||||
|
||||
- **B&B in LB order** (the faithful BET-2 kernel) — measured; strictly worse than `nprobe`
|
||||
(0.18–0.25×) because LB is a poor approximate priority.
|
||||
- **B&B steelman** (centroid order + LB-skip) — the strongest cluster-level variant; ties `nprobe`
|
||||
(1.00×). Retained as the verdict-setting contender.
|
||||
- **Within-list / PQ pruning** — not built; a different mechanism, noted as the only open lever.

# ADR-206 — PQ/IVFADC Within-List Pruning vs Tuned Plain IVF `nprobe` (Scale-Gated WIN)
|
||||
|
||||
## Status
|
||||
|
||||
**Proposed — WIN (scale-gated), 2026-06-05.** Opens the one lever ADR-205 left explicitly open:
|
||||
ADR-205 killed *cluster-level* triangle-inequality pruning vs tuned `nprobe` (the bound was
|
||||
**redundant** with `nprobe`'s centroid cutoff — same axis, 1.00× in every cell). Its "Next steps #1"
|
||||
named a **different** mechanism — within-list pruning via **product-quantized / IVFADC asymmetric
|
||||
distance** — as the only open lever. This is that head-to-head, on **unfiltered** 128-d arxiv ANN.
|
||||
The gate was **pre-registered and frozen before any run** (`docs/plans/bet5-ivf-pq/PRE-REGISTRATION.md`).
|
||||
|
||||
**Product-quantized within-list pruning (an IVFADC cheap-ADC scan + a small exact-L2 re-rank) beats
|
||||
a *tuned* plain `nprobe` — and the early-abandon exact-L2 steelman — by ≥ 2× full-L2-equivalent
|
||||
member-evals at matched recall@10 = 0.95, AND on wall-clock, across all three `nclusters ∈
|
||||
{64,256,1024}` at N = 100k.** The win **grows with N** and the crossover `n*` **increases with
|
||||
`nclusters`** — a clean amortization signature, not a flat pass. Unlike ADR-205, the mechanism is
|
||||
**orthogonal** to `nprobe` (it cheapens the *per-member* distance, not the *list selection*), so the
|
||||
win is real rather than structurally impossible.
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
`ruvector-rairs::IvfFlat` (ADR-193) is plain IVF: k-means centroids + inverted lists; `search(q, k,
|
||||
nprobe)` scans **all** members of the `nprobe` nearest lists with exact `D`-dim L2. PQ/IVFADC adds a
|
||||
product quantizer: split each 128-d vector into `m` subvectors, train 256 sub-centroids per subspace
|
||||
(8-bit codes), encode every vector to `m` bytes. Per query, build an **ADC lookup table** (query
|
||||
subvector → its 256 sub-centroid distances, `m × 256` entries) and approximate any member's distance
|
||||
by `m` table lookups — then recover exactness with an exact-L2 **re-rank** of the top-`R` ADC
|
||||
candidates.
|
||||
|
||||
The kernel (`crates/ruvector-bet4-ivf-bench/src/pq.rs::PqIvf`) is built standalone over the same
|
||||
`ruvector-rairs` k-means substrate as the incumbent (a shared `IvfParts` is clustered **once** per
|
||||
cell and reused for every contender — identical centroids/lists by construction, certified in
|
||||
`tests/pq_gate.rs`). Two correctness gates passed before any claim: PQ with a full re-rank pool is
|
||||
**exact** (recall ≥ 0.999 — the lossy ADC only *orders*, exact L2 *decides*), and the early-abandon
|
||||
steelman is **exact** vs full L2.
|
||||
|
||||
Three contenders share one index per `nclusters` (only the within-list scan differs):
|
||||
- **plain `nprobe`** — full `D`-dim L2 on every member (ADR-205's incumbent; validated == `IvfFlat`).
|
||||
- **early-abandon steelman** — exact L2 abandoned dim-by-dim at `τ²` (PQ-free within-list pruning;
|
||||
the user-confirmed verdict-setting incumbent — rule #5).
|
||||
- **PQ/IVFADC** — cheap ADC scan of the same `nprobe` lists + exact re-rank of the top-`R` (the bet).
|
||||
|
||||
## Cost accounting (one honest unit — no free lunch)
|
||||
|
||||
**One unit = one full `D`-dim L2 = "1 member-eval-equivalent."** Everything converts to it:
|
||||
|
||||
| Operation | full-L2-equivalents |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Plain full-L2 member | 1 |
|
||||
| Early-abandoned L2 member | (dims touched) / D |
|
||||
| **Centroid routing (charged to *all* contenders)** | **`nclusters` × 1** |
|
||||
| PQ ADC table build (per query) | 256 (= `m`·256·(D/m)/D) |
|
||||
| PQ ADC member scan | `m`/D |
|
||||
| PQ exact re-rank member | 1 |
|
||||
|
||||
PQ total = `nclusters` (routing) + `256` (LUT) + `members · m/D` (ADC) + `R` (re-rank). Incumbent =
|
||||
`nclusters` (routing) + `members · 1` (or less, early-abandoned). **Routing is charged equally to
|
||||
both** — the pre-registered "no free routing" check. It is decisive at high `nclusters`, where it
|
||||
nearly equals the working set (see deviation note below).
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision / Finding
|
||||
|
||||
**WIN, scale-gated.** Cost at matched recall@10 = 0.95, 200 queries; **total full-L2-equivalent
|
||||
member-evals** (routing charged to both; **best `m` per cell**, PQ tuned like `nprobe`). Steelman
|
||||
(early-abandon) is the cheaper incumbent in every cell, so it sets every ratio.
|
||||
|
||||
**Total-cost ratio (the frozen gate metric), PQ vs best PQ-free incumbent:**
|
||||
|
||||
| N | nclusters=64 | nclusters=256 | nclusters=1024 |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| 20,000 | **2.51×** WIN | 1.95× qual | 1.33× miss |
|
||||
| 50,000 | **3.20×** WIN | **2.50×** WIN | 1.65× qual |
|
||||
| 100,000 | **3.38×** WIN | **2.80×** WIN | **2.03×** WIN |
|
||||
|
||||
**Wall-clock per query wins in every cell** (e.g. n=100k/nc=64: 346 µs vs 1664 µs plain / 1788 µs
|
||||
abandon; the knife-edge n=100k/nc=1024: 216 µs vs 631 / 742) — **no reversal anywhere**, so the
|
||||
eval win is corroborated by reality, not contradicted by it.
|
||||
|
||||
**Gate WIN condition — "≥ 2× AND wall-clock AND all three `nclusters` at ≥ one N ≥ 50k" — is MET at
|
||||
N = 100k** (2.03× / 2.80× / 3.14–3.38×, wall-win throughout). At N = 50k it holds at `nclusters ∈
|
||||
{64,256}` (qualified at 1024); at N = 20k only at `nclusters = 64`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Mechanism (the orthogonal axis — the key result).** `nprobe` decides *which* members to consider;
|
||||
PQ cheapens the cost of *considering* one (`m/D ≈ 1/8` of a full L2 at `m=16`) and defers exact L2 to
|
||||
a small re-rank. There is **no redundancy** with `nprobe`'s centroid cutoff (the ADR-205 failure
|
||||
mode), so the saving is genuine. Its size is governed by **amortization**: PQ's fixed overhead
|
||||
(`256` LUT + `R` re-rank + `nclusters` routing) is repaid only once the within-list working set
|
||||
`members ≈ n·nprobe/nclusters` is large. Hence the two monotonic trends, both visible in the table:
|
||||
- **grows with N** (working set ∝ n): nc=1024 goes 1.33× → 1.65× → 2.03× across 20k/50k/100k;
|
||||
- **crossover `n*` rises with `nclusters`** (routing ∝ nclusters, working set ∝ 1/nclusters):
|
||||
nc=64 crosses 2× by n≈20k, nc=256 by n≈50k, nc=1024 only by n≈100k.
|
||||
|
||||
In the **sensible IVF range `nclusters ≈ √n`** (≈ 140–320 for these scales), PQ wins ≥ 2× from
|
||||
n ≈ 20–50k upward. Over-clustering (nc=1024 for n ≤ 50k) is the only regime PQ loses — and there
|
||||
routing dominates *every* method, so the within-list choice barely matters (at n=5k/nc=1024 the
|
||||
total ratio is 0.95×, pulled toward 1.0 by 1024 routing evals shared by both).
|
||||
|
||||
## Honest caveats (the prove-not-hype core — none buried)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **The win rides on the exact re-rank, not the PQ distance itself.** Pure-ADC recall@10 is only
|
||||
**~0.48–0.52 (m=16)** / **~0.29–0.36 (m=8)** — PQ alone recovers barely half the true top-10 (the
|
||||
128-d concentration risk, real and named in the prior). The exact re-rank `R` carries recall from
|
||||
there to 0.95: `R* = 150→200→300` (m=16) and `500→1000→1500` (m=8) as N grows. **This is IVFADC +
|
||||
refine — FAISS's standard `IVFPQ,Refine` design — validated to pay on RuVector's data/scales, not
|
||||
a novel algorithm.** The honest claim is "ruvector-rairs should add an IVFPQ+rerank path," not
|
||||
"we invented within-list pruning."
|
||||
2. **The clean WIN is scale-gated to N = 100k.** At N ≤ 50k the "all three nclusters" bar is not
|
||||
cleared (nc=1024 = 1.65× at 50k, 1.33× at 20k). The shippable claim is **scale-and-nclusters-
|
||||
resolved**, not universal: ≥ 2× at `nclusters ∈ {64,256}` from n ≈ 20–50k; the full sweep only at
|
||||
n = 100k. The decisive nc=1024/100k cell is a **knife-edge (2.03×)** — the crossover itself.
|
||||
3. **`m = 16` is the tuned operating point.** `m = 8`'s coarser codes drop the ADC ceiling to ~0.3 →
|
||||
`R` blows up to 1000–1500 → re-rank cost erodes the win (it still wins at low nclusters but trails
|
||||
m=16 at high nclusters). Tuned PQ = `m=16`, as `nprobe` is tuned.
|
||||
4. **Recall-floor tunability flatters PQ slightly.** Integer `nprobe` overshoots the 0.95 floor to
|
||||
0.957–0.970; PQ's finer `R` knob lands at 0.951–0.960. Part of PQ's edge is operating *exactly* at
|
||||
the floor while `nprobe` cannot. This is a genuine (if modest) PQ advantage — finer recall control
|
||||
— and the 2.5–3.4× margins at `nclusters ∈ {64,256}` dwarf the ~2–4% recall gap that drives it.
|
||||
5. **The steelman mattered — a lot.** Early-abandon prunes **40–53%** of L2 dims and was the cheaper
|
||||
incumbent in *every* cell (e.g. 11,006 vs 23,232 at n=100k/nc=64). Against naive plain-L2 the PQ
|
||||
ratios would roughly **double** (~6×); reporting against the steelman keeps the headline honest at
|
||||
2–3.4×.
|
||||
|
||||
## The routing charge — an honest harness-bug catch
|
||||
|
||||
The first sweep **omitted routing from the cost ratio** — a bug in my own harness, since the frozen
|
||||
accounting table charges `nclusters` centroid-evals to *both* contenders. It was decisive at high
|
||||
`nclusters`: the n=50k/nc=1024 cell printed **2.24×** member-only but is **1.65×** once routing
|
||||
(1024 evals) is folded into both costs. The pre-registered "no free routing" adversarial check caught
|
||||
it against my own code; the authoritative table above charges routing throughout, and the harness now
|
||||
prints **both** the member-only ratio (transparency) and the gate-deciding total. Recording the catch
|
||||
is the point (cf. ADR-203's three deviations, ADR-205's PCA-control reversal).
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
**Positive (a real, shippable win — the first in the IVF-acceleration line).**
|
||||
- **`ruvector-rairs::IvfFlat` should gain an `IVFPQ + exact-rerank` search path.** At matched
|
||||
recall@10 = 0.95 it cuts total member-eval cost 2–3.4× and wall-clock 3–5× in the sensible
|
||||
`nclusters ≈ √n` range from n ≈ 20–50k up; the payoff grows with scale. This is the first BET in
|
||||
the IVF line that *adds* shippable code rather than protecting the status quo (ADR-205).
|
||||
- **Companion contrast to ADR-205/199.** Classical *exact* structures don't pay on embedding
|
||||
retrieval (graph separators — high treewidth, ADR-199; cluster bounds — redundant with `nprobe`,
|
||||
ADR-205). The *lossy-but-cheap* PQ distance with an exact re-rank **does** — because it attacks an
|
||||
axis `nprobe` leaves untouched. The kills sharpened *where* acceleration must come from; this is
|
||||
the where.
|
||||
|
||||
**Boundaries / honest scope.**
|
||||
- **Scope: within-list PQ + rerank vs tuned `nprobe`, recall@10 = 0.95, 128-d arxiv.** The win is
|
||||
scale-gated (full sweep only at n=100k) and concentrated in `nclusters ≈ √n`. Not claimed: other
|
||||
recall targets, other corpora, or the over-clustered regime (nc=1024 below n≈100k).
|
||||
- **It is IVFADC+refine, not a new method** — the contribution is the *measured, in-repo, steelman-
|
||||
and-routing-honest* demonstration that it beats `ruvector-rairs`'s current IVFFlat, with the regime
|
||||
mapped.
|
||||
|
||||
## Scoreboard
|
||||
|
||||
**3 WINS** (ADR-200/202 reuse+periodic; ADR-204 incremental high-recall tier; **ADR-206 PQ/IVFADC
|
||||
within-list pruning, scale-gated**) / **4 KILLS** (ADR-199 CCH-on-embeddings; ADR-201 filtered-ANN
|
||||
vs ACORN; ADR-203 KG-treewidth; ADR-205 IVF cluster-pruning vs `nprobe`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Next steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Productionize:** add an `IVFPQ + rerank` path to `ruvector-rairs::IvfFlat` (codebook training,
|
||||
`m`-byte codes, per-query ADC LUT, top-`R` exact rerank); default `m=16`, `R` auto-tuned to a
|
||||
recall SLA. The `PqIvf` kernel here is the reference.
|
||||
2. **A coarse quantizer over centroids** would cut the `nclusters` routing charge that gates the
|
||||
high-`nclusters` win (HNSW-over-centroids, as FAISS `IVF…_HNSW` does) — would lift nc=1024 cleanly
|
||||
past 2× below n=100k. Different mechanism; a natural follow-on bet.
|
||||
3. **OPQ / larger codebooks** (rotation before PQ) would raise the ~0.5 ADC ceiling, shrinking the
|
||||
re-rank `R` that currently carries recall — directly widens the win. Measurable on this harness.
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternatives considered
|
||||
|
||||
- **Pure ADC, no re-rank** — ceiling ~0.48–0.52 recall@10; cannot reach 0.95. Rejected (the re-rank
|
||||
is load-bearing).
|
||||
- **`m = 8`** — coarser codes, ADC ceiling ~0.3, `R` up to 1500; wins at low nclusters but trails
|
||||
m=16. Retained only as the tuned-`m` sweep's loser.
|
||||
- **Cluster-level triangle bound (ADR-205)** — redundant with `nprobe` (1.00×). The orthogonal
|
||||
within-list axis here is why PQ succeeds where that failed.

# BET 4 — Pre-Registration (FROZEN): LB-ordered branch-and-bound IVF probing vs tuned plain `IvfFlat`
|
||||
|
||||
**Status: FROZEN (2026-06-05, user-confirmed).** No gate, threshold, metric, dataset, or
|
||||
control below may change after this commit. Deviations are limited to the explicitly
|
||||
pre-authorised list at the end; any other change voids the run.
|
||||
|
||||
Thread: SepRAG (ruvnet/RuVector issue #534). This closes the BET 4 caveat left open by ADR-201
|
||||
(#536): the region-pruning IVF kernel was built and validated *exact* there, but only ever run as
|
||||
BET 2's mechanism **against ACORN** — never head-to-head against its own natural incumbent, **plain
|
||||
IVF `nprobe` probing**. This is that head-to-head, on **unfiltered** ANN (no predicate — the
|
||||
filtered question is BET 2, resolved NO-GO).
|
||||
|
||||
Independent of #535/#537/#539: this branch (`feat/seprag-bet4-ivf-pruning`) is cut off **clean
|
||||
main**. The incumbent (`ruvector-rairs::IvfFlat`) is on main; the B&B kernel (which lives only on
|
||||
the BET 2 branch) is **rebuilt self-contained** here, so the result is valid regardless of any
|
||||
other PR's fate.
|
||||
|
||||
## Claim (one claim, one number)
|
||||
|
||||
> On unfiltered ANN over real **128-d** arxiv embeddings, **lower-bound-ordered branch-and-bound
|
||||
> IVF probing** scans **≥ 2× fewer member distance-evals** than a **tuned plain `IvfFlat`
|
||||
> `nprobe`**, at **matched recall@10**, **and wins on wall-clock**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Incumbent (tuned, in-repo — no straw man)
|
||||
|
||||
`ruvector-rairs::IvfFlat` (`crates/ruvector-rairs/src/ivf.rs`): k-means centroids + inverted lists;
|
||||
`search(query, k, nprobe)` scans **all** members of the `nprobe` nearest-centroid lists, then
|
||||
finalises top-k. Tuned = sweep `nclusters ∈ {64, 256, 1024}` × `nprobe ∈ [1, nclusters]` to its
|
||||
best (recall, cost) frontier. **Both contenders share the same k-means centroids and seed** — only
|
||||
the *probing strategy* differs, so the comparison isolates the strategy, not clustering luck.
|
||||
|
||||
## Contender (the bet — rebuilt standalone)
|
||||
|
||||
`BnBIvf` over the same centroids/lists:
|
||||
- Precompute per-cluster radius `r_c = max_{v ∈ list_c} ‖v − centroid_c‖`.
|
||||
- For a query `q`: compute `‖q − centroid_c‖` for all `c` (routing cost, charged); lower bound
|
||||
`LB(q,c) = max(0, ‖q − centroid_c‖ − r_c)`.
|
||||
- Probe clusters in **ascending `LB`** order, maintaining a running k-th-best distance `τ`; scan a
|
||||
cluster's members (each a charged distance-eval), update `τ`; **break when `LB(c) ≥ τ`** (no
|
||||
unscanned cluster can contain a top-k point → provably done).
|
||||
- **Exact** at full budget (recall → 1.0). A `max_probe` cap (probe at most that many clusters) is
|
||||
the approx knob used to hit a sub-1.0 recall target for the matched-recall comparison — the
|
||||
analogue of `nprobe`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Data
|
||||
|
||||
`target/m1-data/node-feat-100k.csv` — ogbn-arxiv 128-d node features (public, aligned, the same
|
||||
corpus used by ADR-201/202/204). N-sweep at **20,000 and 100,000**. Queries: 200 held-out points.
|
||||
Ground truth: brute-force exact L2 kNN@10 recomputed on the corpus.
|
||||
|
||||
## Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
- **Primary: member distance-evals at matched recall@10.** The count of query↔member L2
|
||||
evaluations (the dominant cost). Charged identically for both contenders. *Both* are additionally
|
||||
charged the `nclusters` query↔centroid routing evals (equal for both) and B&B's radius
|
||||
bookkeeping is build-time (reported separately, not hidden).
|
||||
- **Secondary (honesty guard): wall-clock per query.** An eval win that **reverses on wall-clock**
|
||||
is reported as **"inconclusive," never WIN** (ADR-201 precedent).
|
||||
- **Reported regardless: exact-regime pruning fraction** — the mean % of clusters B&B skips at
|
||||
recall → 1.0. The mechanistic explainer for whichever verdict lands.
|
||||
|
||||
## Matched-recall protocol
|
||||
|
||||
Pick recall target **R = 0.95**. Tune plain IVF `nprobe` (per `nclusters`) to the smallest value
|
||||
reaching mean recall@10 ≥ R; record its member-evals. Cap `BnBIvf`'s `max_probe` to the smallest
|
||||
value reaching ≥ R; record its member-evals. Compare. Repeat per `nclusters ∈ {64, 256, 1024}` and
|
||||
per N ∈ {20k, 100k}. (Also report the **exact** regime R → 1.0: B&B full-budget vs `nprobe =
|
||||
nclusters` full scan.)
|
||||
|
||||
## Gate (FROZEN)
|
||||
|
||||
| Verdict | Condition |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **WIN** | member-scan reduction **≥ 2×** vs tuned `nprobe` at matched recall@10 (R = 0.95) **AND** wall-clock win **AND** holds across all three `nclusters` settings (at ≥ one N). |
|
||||
| **KILL (NO-GO)** | reduction **< 1.5×** at matched recall **OR** wall-clock reverses. Interpretation: the triangle-inequality bound is too loose in 128-d (distance concentration) to pay. |
|
||||
| **Qualified** | between 1.5× and 2×, or wins at some `nclusters`/N but not all → report as a **narrow/conditional edge** with the regime named (not a clean WIN). |
|
||||
| **Report always** | exact-regime pruning fraction; the full (recall, member-evals, wall-clock) frontier per cell. |
|
||||
|
||||
## Controls (the teeth — both mandatory)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Exact-vs-exact probe** (R → 1.0): `BnBIvf` full-budget vs `IvfFlat` `nprobe = nclusters`
|
||||
(full scan). Directly measures whether the LB bound prunes **at all** in 128-d. If ~0% of
|
||||
clusters are pruned here, that *mechanistically* predicts the KILL — and would make any
|
||||
matched-recall WIN suspect (must be reconciled).
|
||||
2. **Low-dimensional control:** rerun the entire protocol on a **low-intrinsic-dim** input —
|
||||
PCA-project the arxiv features to **8-d** (retain the top-8 principal components). The bound is
|
||||
expected to be tight here, so `BnBIvf` **should WIN** the low-d control. This proves the kernel
|
||||
and harness are *sound* and isolates **high-d concentration** as the cause of any 128-d NO-GO —
|
||||
BET 4's analogue of BET 3's roadNet control and BET 1's stale-index control. If the kernel does
|
||||
**not** win even at 8-d, the implementation is suspect and the 128-d result is uninterpretable.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adversarial checks (pre-committed)
|
||||
|
||||
- **No free routing:** B&B is charged the `nclusters` centroid evals every query; the win must
|
||||
survive that charge (it is identical for plain IVF, so it cancels, but it is *counted*, not
|
||||
ignored).
|
||||
- **Wall-clock guard** (above): eval win must not reverse on wall-clock.
|
||||
- **Shared index:** identical centroids/seed/lists for both contenders; the *only* difference is
|
||||
the probe loop. No re-clustering between contenders.
|
||||
- **Pruning-fraction reconciliation:** a matched-recall WIN with ~0% exact-regime pruning is
|
||||
internally inconsistent and must be explained before being reported as a WIN.
|
||||
|
||||
## Honest prior (stated before any run, per protocol)
|
||||
|
||||
I lean **NO-GO at 128-d.** Under distance concentration the per-cluster radius `r_c` tends to be
|
||||
large relative to inter-centroid gaps, so `LB = max(0, d − r_c) ≈ 0` for most clusters → little
|
||||
pruning → proving exactness scans nearly everything, costing more than a tuned `nprobe` that
|
||||
accepts < 100% recall. That would be a clean kill, the IVF-level companion to ADR-199 (Euclidean
|
||||
embedding geometry defeats classical pruning structures — separators there, triangle-inequality
|
||||
cluster bounds here). A WIN would be a genuine shippable `IvfFlat` upgrade. Either outcome is a
|
||||
tidy, **consumer-independent** finding — the reason this is the chosen next bet.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pre-authorised deviations (anything else voids the run)
|
||||
|
||||
- Substitute PCA-to-8-d with a synthetic low-d clustered set **only if** PCA is impractical to
|
||||
implement cleanly; the *role* (a tight-bound low-d control) is fixed.
|
||||
- Reduce N from 100k to a smaller second scale if 100k brute-force truth is prohibitively slow,
|
||||
**provided** at least two distinct scales are reported and the larger is ≥ 50k.
|
||||
- Adjust query count upward (≥ 200) for noise control; never below 200.
|
||||
- Add `nclusters` settings; never drop one of {64, 256, 1024}.
|
||||
|
||||
## Plan
|
||||
|
||||
- **M0** — self-contained crate `crates/ruvector-bet4-ivf-bench` (deps: `ruvector-rairs`, `rand`):
|
||||
data loader, `BnBIvf` kernel, brute-force oracle; **gate test** `BnBIvf` full-budget == oracle
|
||||
(recall 1.0). clippy clean.
|
||||
- **M1** — instrument member-eval + wall-clock counting on both contenders (shared index).
|
||||
- **M2** — matched-recall sweep harness (`examples/ivf_pruning_sweep.rs`): the `nclusters` × N grid,
|
||||
exact-regime probe, frontier print.
|
||||
- **M3** — low-d (PCA-8) control; adversarial reconciliation; verdict against this gate.
|
||||
- **M4** — ADR-205 (WIN, NO-GO, or qualified — honest, ADR-199/201 precedent); one PR at M4 linked
|
||||
to #534; #534 scoreboard comment.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**Frozen.** Build starts at M0 against this document; the gate is not revisited.

# BET 5 — Pre-Registration (FROZEN): PQ/IVFADC within-list pruning vs tuned plain `IvfFlat` `nprobe`
|
||||
|
||||
**Status: FROZEN (2026-06-05, user-confirmed).** No gate, threshold, metric, dataset, accounting
|
||||
rule, or control below may change. The steelman incumbent (early-abandoned exact L2, user-confirmed)
|
||||
is the verdict-setting PQ-free baseline. Deviations are limited to the pre-authorised list at the
|
||||
end; any other change voids the run.
|
||||
|
||||
Thread: SepRAG (ruvnet/RuVector issue #534). This opens the **one lever ADR-205 left explicitly
|
||||
open**: ADR-205 killed *cluster-level* triangle-inequality pruning vs tuned `nprobe` (structurally
|
||||
redundant — the bound only skips far clusters `nprobe` already avoids). Its "Next steps #1" names the
|
||||
different mechanism: **within-list pruning via product-quantized / IVFADC asymmetric distance.** This
|
||||
is that bet.
|
||||
|
||||
Stacked on `feat/seprag-bet4-ivf-pruning` (PR #540) to **reuse the `ruvector-bet4-ivf-bench`
|
||||
harness** (data loader, brute-force oracle, shared `ruvector-rairs` k-means substrate, sweep
|
||||
skeleton). New module `src/pq.rs`, new example `examples/pq_pruning_sweep.rs`, new ADR-206. Valid
|
||||
regardless of #540's merge fate (additive; depends only on `ruvector-rairs`, which is on main).
|
||||
|
||||
## Why this is NOT a re-run of ADR-205 (the mechanism is orthogonal, not redundant)
|
||||
|
||||
ADR-205's bound competed with `nprobe` on the **same axis** (which lists to scan) → redundant → 1.00×.
|
||||
PQ competes on a **different axis**: `nprobe` decides *which* members to consider; PQ makes the cost
|
||||
of *considering* a member cheaper (an `m`-entry table lookup-sum instead of a `D`-dim L2) **and**
|
||||
lets a list be scanned approximately, deferring exact L2 to a small re-rank shortlist. There is no
|
||||
redundancy with `nprobe`'s centroid cutoff. So a win is **not** structurally impossible here — the
|
||||
question is purely empirical: does the cheaper-but-lossy per-member distance, plus its fixed
|
||||
overheads, net out ahead of a tuned exact `nprobe` at matched recall, **at RuVector's scales**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Claim (one claim, one number)
|
||||
|
||||
> On unfiltered ANN over real **128-d** arxiv embeddings, **PQ/IVFADC within-list pruning**
|
||||
> (approximate ADC scan of the `nprobe` lists + exact L2 re-rank of the top-`R` ADC candidates)
|
||||
> reaches **matched recall@10 = 0.95** at **≥ 2× fewer full-L2-equivalent member-evals** than the
|
||||
> strongest PQ-free incumbent, **and wins on wall-clock**, holding across `nclusters ∈ {64,256,1024}`
|
||||
> at ≥ one scale `N ≥ 50k`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Incumbents (tuned, in-repo — and a steelman, no straw man)
|
||||
|
||||
Both share the **same k-means centroids/seed/lists** as the contender (only the within-list scan
|
||||
differs), built over `ruvector-rairs::kmeans::train` — the same substrate as ADR-205.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Plain `nprobe` full-L2** (the baseline, identical to ADR-205's incumbent; validated equal to
|
||||
`ruvector-rairs::IvfFlat`): scan all members of the `nprobe` nearest lists with exact `D`-dim L2.
|
||||
2. **Steelman incumbent — `nprobe` + early-abandoned exact L2** (PQ-free *within-list pruning*):
|
||||
identical list selection, but each member's L2 is computed dim-by-dim and **abandoned** the
|
||||
instant the partial sum exceeds the current k-th-best `τ`. This is exact (no recall loss) and is
|
||||
the natural, free within-list pruning that needs no PQ. **The PQ contender must beat this**, not
|
||||
just naive full-L2 — rule #5 (steelman the incumbent so a kill is credible *and* a win is real).
|
||||
Cost is charged as **dims actually touched / D** full-L2-equivalents, so early abandonment gets
|
||||
full credit for the work it skips.
|
||||
|
||||
The verdict-setting incumbent is the **cheaper of the two** at matched recall (PQ must beat the best
|
||||
PQ-free option available).
|
||||
|
||||
## Contender (the bet — `PqIvf`, rebuilt standalone over the shared index)
|
||||
|
||||
`PqIvf` over the same centroids/lists:
|
||||
- **Train** `m` sub-quantizers: split each 128-d vector into `m` contiguous subvectors of `D/m` dims;
|
||||
train `2^nbits = 256` sub-centroids per subspace via `ruvector-rairs::kmeans::train` on the sliced
|
||||
subvectors (8-bit codes). Encode every corpus vector to its `m`-byte PQ code. **Build-time;
|
||||
reported separately, never hidden.**
|
||||
- **Per query:** build the **ADC lookup table** — for each of the `m` subspaces, the L2² from the
|
||||
query subvector to all 256 sub-centroids (`m × 256` partial distances). **Charged per query** as
|
||||
`(m × 256 × (D/m)) / D = 256` full-L2-equivalents (the fixed overhead whose amortization is the
|
||||
whole bet — not hidden).
|
||||
- **ADC scan:** for each member of the `nprobe` lists, approximate distance = sum of `m` table
|
||||
entries indexed by its code. **Charged `m / D` full-L2-equivalents per member.**
|
||||
- **Exact re-rank:** take the top-`R` members by ADC distance and recompute exact `D`-dim L2 on
|
||||
them; return the top-k of those. **Charged `R` full-L2-equivalents** (one full L2 each).
|
||||
- Knobs (the analogues of `nprobe`): `nprobe` (lists), `m ∈ {8, 16}` (sub-quantizers), `R` (re-rank
|
||||
pool). Tuned to the smallest cost reaching recall@10 ≥ 0.95, same as `nprobe` is tuned.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cost accounting (the honesty core — one unit, no free lunch)
|
||||
|
||||
**One unit = one full `D`-dim L2 = "1 member-eval-equivalent."** Everything converts to it:
|
||||
|
||||
| Operation | full-L2-equivalents |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Plain full-L2 member | 1 |
|
||||
| Early-abandoned L2 member | (dims touched) / D |
|
||||
| Centroid routing (both, cancels but counted) | `nclusters` × 1 |
|
||||
| PQ ADC table build (per query) | 256 (= `m`·256·(D/m)/D) |
|
||||
| PQ ADC member scan | `m`/D |
|
||||
| PQ exact re-rank member | 1 |
|
||||
|
||||
PQ's total = `256` (LUT) + `nprobe_members · m/D` (ADC) + `R` (re-rank). Incumbent's = `nprobe_members
|
||||
· 1` (or less with early abandon). The fixed `256` LUT charge is what a small tuned working set must
|
||||
overcome — **this is exactly the amortization question, and it is paid in full.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Data
|
||||
|
||||
`target/m1-data/node-feat-100k.csv` — ogbn-arxiv 128-d node features (public, aligned, same corpus as
|
||||
ADR-201/202/204/205). N-sweep at **20,000 / 50,000 / 100,000** (three scales to *map the
|
||||
amortization crossover* `n*`, not just pass/fail). Queries: 200 held-out points. Ground truth:
|
||||
brute-force exact L2 kNN@10 on the corpus.
|
||||
|
||||
## Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
- **Primary: full-L2-equivalent member-evals at matched recall@10 = 0.95.** Per the table above.
|
||||
- **Secondary (honesty guard): wall-clock per query.** An eval win that **reverses on wall-clock** is
|
||||
**"inconclusive," never WIN** (ADR-201/205 precedent). PQ's table-lookup inner loop has different
|
||||
cache behaviour than L2, so this guard has real teeth here.
|
||||
- **Reported regardless:**
|
||||
- **Pure-ADC recall ceiling** (recall@10 of ADC ranking with **no** re-rank) per cell — how lossy
|
||||
PQ is on this data; the mechanistic explainer for the `R` it needs.
|
||||
- **`R` (re-rank pool) required** per cell to reach 0.95.
|
||||
- **Crossover `n*`** — the scale at which PQ overtakes the best incumbent (the amortization point).
|
||||
- **Early-abandon pruning fraction** — mean % of L2 dims the steelman skips (does exact within-list
|
||||
pruning work at all on concentrated 128-d?).
|
||||
|
||||
## Matched-recall protocol
|
||||
|
||||
Recall target **R₀ = 0.95**, k = 10. Per `nclusters ∈ {64,256,1024}` and per `N ∈ {20k,50k,100k}`:
|
||||
tune plain/steelman `nprobe` to the smallest value reaching mean recall@10 ≥ 0.95; record evals.
|
||||
Tune PQ `(nprobe, m, R)` to the smallest full-L2-equivalent cost reaching ≥ 0.95; record evals.
|
||||
Compare PQ to the **cheaper** incumbent. (Also report exact regime: incumbent full-scan vs PQ at the
|
||||
`R` that recovers ≥ 0.999.)
|
||||
|
||||
## Gate (to be FROZEN)
|
||||
|
||||
| Verdict | Condition |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **WIN** | full-L2-equivalent reduction **≥ 2×** vs the best PQ-free incumbent at recall@10 = 0.95 **AND** wall-clock win **AND** holds across all three `nclusters` at ≥ one `N ≥ 50k`. |
|
||||
| **KILL (NO-GO)** | reduction **< 1.5×** in every cell **OR** wall-clock reverses **OR** PQ cannot reach 0.95 recall at any tractable `R` (≤ `nprobe_members`; i.e. the quantization ceiling is too low to recover cheaply). |
|
||||
| **Qualified** | between 1.5× and 2×, or wins at some `nclusters`/`N` but not all → report as a **scale/regime-conditional edge** with the crossover `n*` named (not a clean WIN). |
|
||||
| **Report always** | pure-ADC recall ceiling; `R` per cell; crossover `n*`; early-abandon pruning fraction; the full (recall, eval, wall-clock) frontier per cell. |
|
||||
|
||||
## Controls (the teeth — both mandatory)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Pure-ADC-recall probe (the mechanism control).** Measure ADC-only recall@10 (no re-rank) per
|
||||
cell. This isolates *how lossy* PQ is on 128-d arxiv. If ADC recall is already ≈ 0.95, PQ wins
|
||||
trivially (tiny `R`); if it is low, the re-rank `R` must carry recall and the win rides on whether
|
||||
`R` stays small — the explainer for whichever verdict lands. (Replaces ADR-205's PCA-8 control,
|
||||
whose role — *isolate the bound's tightness* — does not transfer; PQ's loss axis is quantization
|
||||
coarseness, measured directly here. See deviation note.)
|
||||
2. **Early-abandon-vs-full-L2 control (the steelman is itself a control).** If early abandonment
|
||||
prunes ≈ 0% of dims on concentrated 128-d, that confirms the same distance-concentration that
|
||||
killed ADR-205's bound also defeats *exact* within-list pruning — isolating PQ's *lossy compute*
|
||||
as the only working within-list lever. If early abandonment prunes a lot, the steelman is strong
|
||||
and a PQ win is harder-earned.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adversarial checks (pre-committed)
|
||||
|
||||
- **No free LUT:** the `256`-equivalent ADC table build is charged **every query**; the win must
|
||||
survive it. (This is the amortization crux, not a footnote.)
|
||||
- **No free codebook:** PQ codebook training is build-time, reported separately like ADR-205's radius
|
||||
bookkeeping — never folded into the per-query win.
|
||||
- **Wall-clock guard:** eval win must not reverse on wall-clock (table-lookup cache effects are real).
|
||||
- **Shared index:** identical centroids/seed/lists for all contenders; only the within-list scan
|
||||
differs. No re-clustering between contenders.
|
||||
- **Re-rank honesty:** the `R` exact L2s are charged at full cost (1 each); a win cannot hide behind
|
||||
an uncharged re-rank.
|
||||
- **Ceiling reconciliation:** a matched-recall WIN that requires `R` ≳ `nprobe_members` is not a
|
||||
win (PQ would be re-ranking the whole working set exactly — it has bought nothing); must be flagged.
|
||||
|
||||
## Honest prior (stated before any run, per protocol)
|
||||
|
||||
I lean **genuinely uncertain, with a slight WIN-at-scale lean** — the most honest reading of the
|
||||
mechanics, and unlike ADR-205 this is *not* a foregone kill:
|
||||
|
||||
- **For a win:** PQ's per-member cost is ~`m/D` (≈ 1/8 at `m=16`) of full L2; the moment the `nprobe`
|
||||
working set is large (large `N`, or many lists), the `256`-equivalent LUT amortizes and the cheap
|
||||
ADC scan + small re-rank should undercut full-L2 `nprobe`. This is the textbook reason IVFPQ
|
||||
exists. A clean win would say "ruvector-rairs should add IVFPQ for large-`N` IVF" — a real,
|
||||
consumer-independent, *shippable* finding (the first WIN in the IVF-acceleration line).
|
||||
- **For a kill / qualified:** two named risks. (a) **Amortization** — at moderate `N` (20k–50k) a
|
||||
*tuned* `nprobe` scans a *small* working set (it is tuned down to a few lists), so the fixed `256`
|
||||
LUT + re-rank `R` may not pay; the win could be purely asymptotic and *absent* at RuVector's
|
||||
scales. (b) **Concentration ceiling** — the same 128-d distance concentration that killed ADR-199
|
||||
/205 makes ADC ranking noisy (true neighbours scattered deep in ADC order), forcing a large `R` to
|
||||
recover 0.95; if `R` blows up, the re-rank cost erases the ADC saving → NO-GO, the IVFADC companion
|
||||
to "Euclidean embedding geometry defeats classical acceleration." I rate (b) the sharper risk.
|
||||
|
||||
Net: ~55% WIN at `N ≥ 50k`, with a real chance the crossover `n*` sits *above* RuVector's tested
|
||||
scales (→ qualified) or that the concentration ceiling forces `R` too high (→ clean NO-GO). Either
|
||||
outcome is a tidy, consumer-independent finding — the reason this is the chosen next bet.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pre-authorised deviations (anything else voids the run)
|
||||
|
||||
- Substitute the pure-ADC-recall control's role only if PQ training is impractical to implement
|
||||
cleanly; the *role* (measure PQ's quantization loss directly) is fixed.
|
||||
- Reduce the largest `N` from 100k to ≥ 50k if 100k brute-force truth is prohibitively slow,
|
||||
**provided** at least three distinct scales spanning ≥ 4× are reported, the largest ≥ 50k.
|
||||
- Adjust query count upward (≥ 200) for noise control; never below 200.
|
||||
- Add `m` or `R` settings; never drop a required `nclusters ∈ {64,256,1024}`.
|
||||
- If `m=16` and `m=8` bracket the same verdict, report both but the gate is read on the better `m`
|
||||
per cell (PQ is *tuned*, like `nprobe`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Plan
|
||||
|
||||
- **M0** — `src/pq.rs`: `PqIvf` (sub-quantizer training over shared k-means index, encode, ADC LUT,
|
||||
`search_adc_rerank`), early-abandon incumbent scan; **gate test** PQ@full-rerank == oracle
|
||||
(recall ≥ 0.999) + PQ shares centroids with `BnBIvf`/`IvfFlat`. clippy clean.
|
||||
- **M1** — instrument full-L2-equivalent counting on all three contenders (shared index); pure-ADC
|
||||
recall probe.
|
||||
- **M2** — matched-recall sweep `examples/pq_pruning_sweep.rs`: `nclusters` × `N` × `(m,R)` grid,
|
||||
crossover `n*`, frontier print.
|
||||
- **M3** — controls (pure-ADC ceiling, early-abandon fraction); adversarial reconciliation; verdict
|
||||
against this gate.
|
||||
- **M4** — ADR-206 (WIN / NO-GO / qualified — honest, ADR-199/201/205 precedent); one PR at M4
|
||||
stacked on #540, linked to #534; #534 scoreboard comment.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**Frozen.** Build starts at M0 against this document; the gate is not revisited.
