Panorama: Fast-Track Nearest Neighbors

Vansh Ramani*, Alexis Schlomer*, Akash Nayar*, Panagiotis Karras, Sayan Ranu, Jignesh M. Patel

Vector search systems waste up to 99% of their time computing distances. We made them 2-30× faster with zero accuracy loss by learning which calculations can be safely skipped. Works on everything from image search to modern AI embeddings.

User-Controllable Congestion Mitigation for Low-Latency Applications

Alexis Schlomer*, Adithya Abraham Philip, Justine Sherry, Zili Meng

Let users prioritize their latency-sensitive traffic (like video calls or gaming) without ruining other apps running simultaneously. A client-side system that significantly improves real-time performance when your network is congested.
