Using an ANN algorithm like `FAISS` or `Annoy` can significantly reduce the number of distance calculations by using techniques like locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) or tree-based indexing. ### 3. Handle High-Dimensional Data ANN algorithm…

Here's an example using the `IndexHNSW` index, which is more scalable and efficient for large datasets: ```python import numpy as np import faiss # Assuming I have a dataset of vectors vectors = np.random.rand(1000, 128).astype('float32')…
