Merged summary

TL;DR - NeuRoute is a learned hashing index that uses neural encoder logits to route queries efficiently in billion-scale approximate nearest-neighbor search. It delivers competitive recall and throughput while reducing end-to-end index construction to under an hour.

  • Produces balanced binary addresses using a lightweight encoder and a selective similarity-preserving objective.
  • Uses logit uncertainty to prioritize adaptive multi-bucket probing, then applies centroid gating and early stopping.
  • Achieves 90.3% Recall@10 at 2,414 QPS on BigANN-1B.
  • Runs 1.7Ă— faster than OPQ+IVF-PQ refinement at comparable accuracy and builds indexes for BigANN-1B and Deep1B-1B in under an hour.
