PLASMA: Pre-built Graph Indices for Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search

Size: Approximately 186 GB across 430 files

Contributors: Yutaro Oguri (The University of Tokyo), Mai Nishimura (OMRON SINIC X), and Yusuke Matsui (The University of Tokyo)

PLASMA provides pre-built graph indices that enable users to evaluate memory-layout effects across diverse graph structures on their own GPUs. It includes indices built by CAGRA, NSG, NSSG, NN-Descent, and DiskANN/Vamana over 14 dataset configurations at scales from 1M to 50M, with permutation maps for seven vertex orderings: GOrder, RCM, Hub Sort, Hub Cluster, in-degree, out-degree, and random.

The configurations span classical descriptors (SIFT, GIST, and Deep) and modern embeddings (Yandex T2I, OpenAI, Wikipedia, BioASQ, and C4), ranging from 96 to 1536 dimensions. Providing graph structures and orderings separately allows topology and memory layout to be varied without rebuilding the indices.

Caselaw

Size: 8,362,175 legal cases, split into 8,262,175 base documents and 100,000 query documents, with additional 100,000-, 1-million-, and 7.4-million-vector single-vector variants

Contributor: Magdalen Dobson Manohar

Caselaw is a public vector benchmark based on the Collaborative Open Legal Data Cases collection derived from CourtListener bulk data. It contains legal opinions and rich metadata such as filing date, court type, court name, and jurisdiction. Opinions are embedded with OpenAI's text-embedding-3-small model; long opinions are represented as multiple vectors to accommodate documents exceeding the model's context window.

The release includes a multi-vector binary format, metadata and curated filter queries, and exact top-100 nearest-neighbor ground truth computed with the Chamfer aggregation metric and Euclidean distance. Filtered ground truth is provided for the full base set and smaller prefixes. A separate single-vector release includes documents that fit within one embedding, along with workloads grouped into low, medium, and high filter match-rate regimes.

License: The embeddings and auxiliary files are released under CDLA Permissive 2.0. The original COLD Cases dataset is released under CC0 1.0 Universal.

YFCC-Images

Size: 98.8 million 1280-dimensional vectors, comprising a 98.7-million-vector base set and a 100,000-vector query set, with additional 1-million- and 10-million-vector subsets

Contributor: Suhas Jayaram Subramanya

YFCC-Images is a public vector benchmark derived from the image subset of YFCC100M. Each image is represented by a normalized, 1280-dimensional embedding generated with the CLIP-based CLIP-ViT-bigG-14-laion2B-39B-b160k model. It expands upon the YFCC benchmark released for the NeurIPS 2023 Practical Vector Search Challenge, but does not include the additional metadata required for filtered search.

The release uses the standard single-vector fbin format and includes exact top-100 nearest-neighbor ground truth for the full base set and both subsets. Ground truth was computed using Euclidean distance and, because the embeddings are unit-normalized, is also applicable to cosine similarity and inner-product search.
