Nano Product Quantization (nanopq): a vanilla implementation of Product Quantization (PQ) and Optimized Product Quantization (OPQ) written in pure python without any third party dependencies.



## Installing
You can install the package via pip. This library works with Python 3.5+ on linux.
```
pip install nanopq
```

- [Tutorial](https://nanopq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/tutorial.html)
- [API](https://nanopq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/api.html)

## Example

```python
import nanopq
import numpy as np

N, Nt, D = 10000, 2000, 128
X = np.random.random((N, D)).astype(np.float32)  # 10,000 128-dim vectors to be indexed
Xt = np.random.random((Nt, D)).astype(np.float32)  # 2,000 128-dim vectors for training
query = np.random.random((D,)).astype(np.float32)  # a 128-dim query vector

# Instantiate with M=8 sub-spaces
pq = nanopq.PQ(M=8)

# Train codewords
pq.fit(Xt)

# Encode to PQ-codes
X_code = pq.encode(X)  # (10000, 8) with dtype=np.uint8

# Results: create a distance table online, and compute Asymmetric Distance to each PQ-code 
dists = pq.dtable(query).adist(X_code)  # (10000, ) 
```
