From 79329cd00101fd451ce780fad986e1c2fc605ada Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sophisid Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 22:03:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Reject early-abandoned distances with a strict comparison in MESSI top-k ts_euclidean_distance_SIMD stops once its partial sum reaches the bound and returns that partial sum. The top-k scans accepted results with `dist <= knn[k-1]`, so a series whose abandoned partial sum equalled the current bound was inserted with that under-estimated distance, and its position was then reported next to a distance that belongs to another series. With the position-based de-duplication this wrong entry could also block the real series, because it already occupied the same position slot. Compare with `<` in the approximate scan and in the MESSI L2 leaf scan, so a distance that is not strictly better than the current k-th is never inserted. On 200k clustered 128-d vectors, k=10: returned (id, distance) pairs whose distance does not match the series: 8 of 50000 before, 0 after; fraction of the true top-10 returned: 0.9998 -> 1.0000. On 1M vectors the same: 1.0000.
