Module 7
HNSW: Insertion and Graph Construction
1
Randomized Layer Assignment for Vector Insertion
Implement the probabilistic function to assign a random maximum layer for a new vector upon insertion.
2
Implementing the HNSW Insertion Algorithm
Implement the main insertion algorithm, which finds neighbors for the new node from its top layer down to layer 0.
3
Layer-wise Candidate Neighbor Search
For each layer during insertion, use the `SEARCH-LAYER` algorithm to find candidate neighbors.
4
Neighborhood Selection Heuristic
Implement the neighborhood selection heuristic to choose the best `M` neighbors for the new node from the candidates.
5
Connecting Nodes: Bidirectional Logic
Implement the logic to create bidirectional connections between the new node and its selected neighbors.
6
Connection Pruning for Maximum Node Connections
Implement connection pruning to ensure nodes do not exceed their maximum connection limit (`M_max`) after an insertion.
