VectorSearchCompression Class

  • Reference

Contains configuration options specific to the compression method used during indexing or querying.

You probably want to use the sub-classes and not this class directly. Known sub-classes are: BinaryQuantizationCompression, ScalarQuantizationCompression

All required parameters must be populated in order to send to server.

VectorSearchCompression

Constructor

VectorSearchCompression(*, compression_name: str, rerank_with_original_vectors: bool = True, default_oversampling: float | None = None, **kwargs: Any)

Keyword-Only Parameters

Name Description
compression_name
str

The name to associate with this particular configuration. Required.
rerank_with_original_vectors
bool

If set to true, once the ordered set of results calculated using compressed vectors are obtained, they will be reranked again by recalculating the full-precision similarity scores. This will improve recall at the expense of latency.

Default value: True
default_oversampling
float

Default oversampling factor. Oversampling will internally request more documents (specified by this multiplier) in the initial search. This increases the set of results that will be reranked using recomputed similarity scores from full-precision vectors. Minimum value is 1, meaning no oversampling (1x). This parameter can only be set when rerankWithOriginalVectors is true. Higher values improve recall at the expense of latency.

Variables

Name Description
compression_name
str

The name to associate with this particular configuration. Required.
kind
str or <xref:azure.search.documents.indexes.models.VectorSearchCompressionKind>

The name of the kind of compression method being configured for use with vector search. Required. Known values are: "scalarQuantization" and "binaryQuantization".
rerank_with_original_vectors
bool

If set to true, once the ordered set of results calculated using compressed vectors are obtained, they will be reranked again by recalculating the full-precision similarity scores. This will improve recall at the expense of latency.
default_oversampling
float

Default oversampling factor. Oversampling will internally request more documents (specified by this multiplier) in the initial search. This increases the set of results that will be reranked using recomputed similarity scores from full-precision vectors. Minimum value is 1, meaning no oversampling (1x). This parameter can only be set when rerankWithOriginalVectors is true. Higher values improve recall at the expense of latency.

Methods

as_dict

Return a dict that can be serialized using json.dump.

Advanced usage might optionally use a callback as parameter:

Key is the attribute name used in Python. Attr_desc is a dict of metadata. Currently contains 'type' with the msrest type and 'key' with the RestAPI encoded key. Value is the current value in this object.

The string returned will be used to serialize the key. If the return type is a list, this is considered hierarchical result dict.

See the three examples in this file:

  • attribute_transformer

  • full_restapi_key_transformer

  • last_restapi_key_transformer

If you want XML serialization, you can pass the kwargs is_xml=True.
deserialize

Parse a str using the RestAPI syntax and return a model.
enable_additional_properties_sending
from_dict

Parse a dict using given key extractor return a model.

By default consider key extractors (rest_key_case_insensitive_extractor, attribute_key_case_insensitive_extractor and last_rest_key_case_insensitive_extractor)
is_xml_model
serialize

Return the JSON that would be sent to server from this model.

This is an alias to as_dict(full_restapi_key_transformer, keep_readonly=False).

If you want XML serialization, you can pass the kwargs is_xml=True.
