IVF_FLAT / BIN_IVF

IVF_FLAT is a coarse quantization index. When constructing the index, the vector dataset is clustered into nlist centroids based on similarity. During search, only the nprobe nearest clusters to the search vector need to be considered. The selection of the nprobe parameter involves a trade-off between recall rate and search efficiency. A larger nprobe leads to higher recall rates but lower efficiency.
