From 390ebf0c3652bc832ee49399e9eca3fc95eafdca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: root Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 22:08:34 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?IVF=5FPQ=20recall=20tuned=20from=200.80=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=86=92=200.97=20via=20parameter=20sweep?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Systematic sweep of 8 IVF_PQ configs on 100K × 768d resumes. num_sub_vectors is the dominant lever: 48 → 192 pushes recall from 0.795 → 0.970. Winner: partitions=500, bits=8, subs=192. Build 61s (vs 18s baseline), acceptable for background builds. Hybrid status: HNSW recall=1.00 at <1ms, Lance IVF_PQ recall=0.97 at 60ms. Both backends production-grade.
