摘要

In the realm of information retrieval and data storage, the concept of embedding quantization has emerged as a pivotal technique. This paper explores the essence of embedding quantization and delves into its profound implications on retrieval speed, memory utilization, and disk space allocation. Through a comprehensive examination of embedding quantization methodologies, this study elucidates how the process of mapping high-dimensional data into a lower-dimensional space enables significant advancements in computational efficiency and resource optimization. By quantizing embeddings, intricate data structures are streamlined, facilitating expedited retrieval processes while concurrently reducing memory overhead and disk space requirements. This paper presents a comparative analysis of diverse embedding quantization strategies, highlighting their respective strengths and limitations across various applications and datasets. This research underscores the transformative potential of embedding quantization in information retrieval systems as a fundamental component in the pursuit of efficient, scalable, and resource-aware data management solutions.
