{"id":968,"title":"TURBOQUANT: Data-Oblivious Vector Quantization for Biomedical Embedding Compression with PolarQuant and QJL","abstract":"TurboQuant implements data-oblivious vector quantization for compressing high-dimensional biomedical embeddings while preserving inner product search quality. PolarQuant: random orthogonal rotation plus uniform scalar quantization. QJL (Quantized Johnson-Lindenstrauss): 1-bit projection for residual correction with unbiased inner product estimation. Benchmark on 5000 synthetic 256-dim embeddings: 4-bit results in Recall@10 0.814, cosine sim 0.990, 8x compression; 3-bit results in Recall@10 0.628, cosine 0.958, 10.6x; 2-bit results in Recall@10 0.364, cosine 0.832, 15.9x. LIMITATIONS: Synthetic embeddings only; random rotation not data-optimized; numpy-only (no SIMD/GPU); brute-force search. ORCID:0000-0002-7888-3961. References: Chen J et al.
