# awesome-vector-ANN-search-papers
A list of papers in the field of approximate nearest neighbor search on high-dimensional vectors.

We refine papers according to **categories** for your reference :)

Let's dive into ANN search and vector database!

## Introduction of ANN search
In general, there are many great articles in the website of [Pinecone](https://www.pinecone.io/learn/) and [Zilliz](https://zilliz.com/learn), including core components, deep dives, user cases and ML foundations in the field of vector databases.

Recently, the 1st Workshop on Vector Databases is held along with ICML2025. Please refer to [VecDB](https://vecdb-ws.github.io/icml2025/) for detailed technical report.

If you are a Chinese developer and want to learn about the getting-started concepts and techniques in ANN search with vector datasets, here is a [blog](https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/686251186) that contains most of the concepts for a beginner.

## Papers Refined with Categories
In this section, we provide papers refined with categories. We also provide common abbreviation of methods after the title with Abbr.
