This podcast features interviews with Computer Science researchers. Hosted by Dr. Jack Waudby researchers are interviewed, highlighting the problem(s) they tackled, solutions they developed, and how their findings can be applied in practice. This podcast is for industry practitioners, researchers, and students, aims to further narrow the gap between research and practice, and to generally make awesome Computer Science research more accessible. We have 2 types of episode: (i) Cutting Edge (red/blue logo) where we talk to researchers about their latest work, and (ii) High Impact (gold/silver logo) where we talk to researchers about their influential work.

In this episode, we chat with with Liana Patel to discuss ACORN, a groundbreaking method for hybrid search in applications using mixed-modality data. As more systems require simultaneous access to embedded images, text, video, and structured data, traditional search methods struggle to maintain efficiency and flexibility. Liana explains how ACORN, leveraging Hierarchical Navigable Small Worlds (HNSW), enables efficient, predicate-agnostic searches by introducing innovative predicate subgraph traversal. This allows ACORN to outperform existing methods significantly, supporting complex query semantics and achieving 2–1,000 times higher throughput on diverse datasets. Tune in to learn more!
