NMSLIB is an **extendible library**, which means that is possible to add new search methods and distance functions. NMSLIB can be used directly in C++ and Python (via Python bindings). In addition, it is also possible to build a query server, which can be used from Java (or other languages supported by Apache Thrift). Java has a native client, i.e., it works on many platforms without requiring a C++ library to be installed.

## Brief History

NMSLIB started as a personal project of Bilegsaikhan Naidan, who created the initial code base, the Python bindings,
and participated in earlier evaluations.
The most successful class of methods--neighborhood/proximity graphs--is represented by the Hierarchical Navigable Small World Graph (HNSW)
due to Malkov and Yashunin (see the publications below).
Other most useful methods, include a modification of the VP-tree
due to Boytsov and Naidan (2013),
a Neighborhood APProximation index (NAPP) proposed by Tellez et al. (2013) and improved by David Novak,
as well as a vanilla uncompressed inverted file.
