Elasticsearch You Know, for Vector Search

Slide 13

Slide 13

What is a Vector ?

Slide 14

Slide 14

Example: 1-dimensional vector Character Vector [ 1 ] ] Realistic

[ Embeddings represent your data Cartoon 1

Slide 15

Slide 15

represent different data aspects Human Character Vector [ 1, 1 Realistic Cartoon ] ] Machine

[ Multiple dimensions 1, 0

Slide 16

Slide 16

is grouped together Human Character Vector [ 1.0, 1.0 Realistic Cartoon 1.0, 0.0 [ 1.0, 0.8 ] ] ]

Machine

[ Similar data

Slide 17

Slide 17

Vector search ranks objects by similarity (~relevance) to the query Human Rank Query 1 Realistic Cartoon 2 3 4 5 Machine Result

Slide 18

Slide 18

Choice of Embedding Model Start with Off-the Shelf Models Extend to Higher Relevance ●Text data: Hugging Face (like Microsoft’s E5 ●Apply hybrid scoring ) ●Images: OpenAI’s CLIP ●Bring Your Own Model: requires expertise + labeled data

Elastic’s range of supported NLP models Co m m er ci ● Fill mask model Mask some of the words in a sentence and predict words that replace masks ● Named entity recognition model NLP method that extracts information from text ● Text embedding model Represent individual words as numerical vectors in a predefined vector space ● Text classification model Assign a set of predefined categories to open-ended text ● Question answering model Model that can answer questions given some or no context ● Zero-shot text classification model Model trained on a set of labeled examples, that is able to classify previously unseen examples Full list at: ela.st/nlp-supported-models al

Slide 26

Slide 26

How do you search vectors ?

Slide 27

Slide 27

Vector Query GET product-catalog/_search { “query” : { “bool”: { “must”: [{ “knn”: { “field”: “desc_embbeding”, “num_candidates”: 50, “query_vector”: [0.123, 0.244,…] } }], “filter”: { “term”: { “department”: “women” } } } } }, “size”: 10

But how does it really work?

Slide 31

Slide 31

Similarity: cosine (cosine) Human q cos(θ) = d1 d2 Realistic θ q⃗ × d ⃗ | q⃗ | × | d |⃗ _score = 1 + cos(θ) 2

Slide 32

Slide 32

Similarity: cosine (cosine) 1+1 _score = =1 2 1+0 _score = = 0.5 2 1−1 _score = =0 2

Slide 33

Slide 33

Similarity: Dot Product (dot_product) q⃗ × d ⃗ = | q⃗ | × cos(θ) × | d |⃗ q d θ | q⃗ | × co s (θ ) 1 + dot_ product(q, d) scorefloat = 2 0.5 + dot product(q, d) _scorebyte = 32768 × dims

Slide 34

Slide 34

Similarity: Euclidean distance (l2_norm) y 2 n i (x ∑ 1 i= − y i) q l2_normq,d = y1 d x1 y2 x2 n ∑ i=1 (xi − yi) 1 _score = 1 + (l2_normq,d )2 x 2

Slide 35

Slide 35

Brute Force

Slide 36

Slide 36

Hierarchical Navigable Small Worlds (HNSW One popular approach HNSW: a layered approach that simplifies access to the nearest neighbor Tiered: from coarse to fine approximation over a few steps Balance: Bartering a little accuracy for a lot of scalability ) Speed: Excellent query latency on large scale indices

Slide 37

Slide 37

Filtering KNN Vector Similarity Automatically choose between brute force and HNSW Brute force (not real numbers; used only to demonstrate the linearity) HNSW fi Bound worst case to 2*(brute force) • Brute force scales O(n) of ltered • HNSW scales ~O(log(n)) of all docs

Elasticsearch + Lucene = fast progress ❤

Slide 39

Slide 39

Scaling Vector Search Vector search Best practices

  1. Needs lots of memory
  2. Avoid searches during indexing
  3. Indexing is slower
  4. Exclude vectors from _source
  5. Merging is slow
  6. Reduce vector dimensionality 4. Use byte rather than float
  • Continuous improvements in Lucene + Elasticsearch

Slide 40

Slide 40

Reduce Required Memory 2. Reduce of number of dimensions per vector

  1. Vector element size reduction (“quantize”)
