Comment Comment by srajabi A little hard to understand why this is cool, but if I understand correctly:1. Lucene is trying to get Approximate Nearest Neighbours (ANN) search working for semantic search purposes: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9004 https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/100472. The Panama Vector API allows CPU's that support it to accelerate vector operations: https://openjdk.org/jeps/438So this allows fast ANN on Lucene for semantic search!How did people do this before Lucene supported it? Only through entirely different tools? parent srajabi 3 years ago
