Binary Quantization and Bit Packing
Easy · Solved in PyTorch · Machine learning coding practice
Problem
In vector search, binary quantization creates compact approximations of embeddings for fast candidate scoring, trading some accuracy for efficiency. Packing the bits reduces storage and data transfer, letting more vectors fit in memory.
