# Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search in High Dimensions

- **Authors**: P. Indyk, R. Motwani
- **Year**: 1998
- **Summary**: A seminal paper on Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) search algorithms. It introduces techniques like Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) that allow for sub-linear time search in high-dimensional spaces, which is the foundation for fast memory retrieval in modern vector databases.
