Beyond Linear LLM Invocation: An Efficient and Effective Semantic Filter Paradigm

This paper proposes Clustering-Sampling-Voting (CSV), a novel framework that significantly reduces the linear latency and token costs of semantic filtering in large language models by embedding tuples into semantic clusters, sampling subsets for evaluation, and inferring cluster-level labels through voting strategies, thereby achieving sublinear complexity with strong error guarantees.

V3DB: Audit-on-Demand Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Verifiable Vector Search over Committed Snapshots

V3DB is a verifiable vector-search service that enables clients to audit the correctness of approximate nearest-neighbor retrieval results from untrusted providers by generating succinct zero-knowledge proofs for committed snapshots without revealing the underlying data, achieving significant performance improvements through an optimized proving strategy that avoids costly in-circuit sorting and random access.

PANDAExpress: a Simpler and Faster PANDA Algorithm

This paper introduces PANDAExpress, a novel algorithm that eliminates the impractical polylogarithmic factor of the original PANDA framework by employing a new probabilistic inequality and a dynamic hyperplane partitioning scheme, thereby achieving optimal, specialized-algorithm-level runtimes for conjunctive queries and disjunctive datalog rules under arbitrary degree constraints while maintaining full generality.
