ScalarQuantizationCompression Class
Contains configuration options specific to the scalar quantization compression method used during indexing and querying.
Constructor
ScalarQuantizationCompression(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any)
Variables
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
|
compression_name
|
The name to associate with this particular configuration. Required. |
|
rescoring_options
|
Contains the options for rescoring. |
|
truncation_dimension
|
The number of dimensions to truncate the vectors to. Truncating the vectors reduces the size of the vectors and the amount of data that needs to be transferred during search. This can save storage cost and improve search performance at the expense of recall. It should be only used for embeddings trained with Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL) such as OpenAI text-embedding-3-large (small). The default value is null, which means no truncation. |

parameters

Contains the parameters specific to Scalar Quantization. |

str or
<xref:azure.search.documents.indexes.models.SCALAR_QUANTIZATION>
The name of the kind of compression method being configured for use with vector search. Required. Scalar Quantization, a type of compression method. In scalar quantization, the original vectors values are compressed to a narrower type by discretizing and representing each component of a vector using a reduced set of quantized values, thereby reducing the overall data size. |
Methods
| as_dict |
Return a dict that can be turned into json using json.dump. |
| clear |
Remove all items from D. |
| copy | |
| get |
Get the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default. :param str key: The key to look up. :param any default: The value to return if key is not in the dictionary. Defaults to None :returns: D[k] if k in D, else d. :rtype: any |
| items | |
| keys | |
| pop |
Removes specified key and return the corresponding value. :param str key: The key to pop. :param any default: The value to return if key is not in the dictionary :returns: The value corresponding to the key. :rtype: any :raises KeyError: If key is not found and default is not given. |
| popitem |
Removes and returns some (key, value) pair :returns: The (key, value) pair. :rtype: tuple :raises KeyError: if D is empty. |
| setdefault |
Same as calling D.get(k, d), and setting D[k]=d if k not found :param str key: The key to look up. :param any default: The value to set if key is not in the dictionary :returns: D[k] if k in D, else d. :rtype: any |
| update |
Updates D from mapping/iterable E and F. :param any args: Either a mapping object or an iterable of key-value pairs. |
| values |
