It is with great pleasure that we announce our recent research paper, Milvus: A Purpose-built Vector Data Management System, has been accepted by the 2021 ACM SIGMOD/PODS Conference. The paper was recognized for its advanced work in vector data management, and its authors will be giving a keynote presentation at the SIGMOD Conference taking place from June 20-25 in Xi'an, China. Milvus was launched by Zilliz in 2019 and is currently an incubation-stage project at the LF AI & Data Foundation.
SIGMOD is the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Management of Data, which specializes in large-scale data management problems. The annual ACM SIGMOD Conference, which began in 1975, is a leading international forum for database researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore cutting-edge ideas and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences. With an average acceptance rate of 17.4%, the annual ACM SIGMOD/PODS Conference is highly selective.
Milvus : A Purpose-built Vector Data Management System has been recognized by SIGMOD's review committee for introducing an end-to-end solution for vector similarity search. Milvus offers a modern design and implementation, such as query processing over structured attributes and multiple vectors, as well as improved heterogeneous computing efficiency.
"This research offers a significant system design level breakthrough for vector data management," said SIGMOD's review committee. "Milvus supports real-time search on dynamic data and diversified search requirements that apply to a variety of business scenarios. As an open-source project, Milvus outperforms most competing vector databases. The committee found this research paper both inspiring and enlightening."
“As the world's first open-source vector database system, Milvus has developed rapidly over the past two years to become one of the most active, influential, and widely used projects under LF AI & Data Foundation,” said Charles Xie, Chairperson of LF AI & Data Governing Board, and Founder of Zilliz. “Milvus’ recognition by SIGMOD validates its technology and software architecture among academia, as well as the database industry at large. As an open-source project, Milvus has been successfully deployed in applications spanning new drug discovery, biometric analysis, and much more. I look forward to the ongoing and ever-evolving progress made by the Milvus project and its community, to propel AI unstructured data processing to new heights.”
The paper is now available for download.
