SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVED SIMILARITY SEARCH FOR SEARCH ENGINES

Abstract:

A system and method for an improved similarity search for an Elasticsearch engine includes an accelerated processing unit (APU) to process a vector query for a similarity search using cosine similarity; and a plugin to said Elasticsearch engine to identify a vector query uploaded to the Elasticsearch engine by a user, to divert the vector query to the APU for processing and to return a set of results to the user for the similarity search, each result having an index and ordinal scale representing its distance from the vector query.
