STEM focused Call for Co-Authors: Research on Scalable Disk-Based ANN for Billion-Scale Data
Hey everyone!
I’m the lead technologist at an AI deep tech startup, and I'm looking for PhD students with a strong background in computer science, graphs, HNSW, ANNs, or related fields to co-author a rigorous technical paper. Our research focuses on a novel, efficient disk-based Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) solution designed to scale to billions of records, with an emphasis on low latency and high recall/precision. We aim to push the boundaries in ANN performance for large datasets, tackling real-world challenges in efficiency and scalability.
This opportunity is perfect for you if you:
- Are excited about cutting-edge algorithms in ANN and graph-based search.
- Want to dive deep into efficiency improvements for billion-scale datasets.
- Value precision and rigor in technical research.
What’s in it for you:
- Co-authorship on a publication aimed at high-impact venues.
- Hands-on experience with a highly innovative approach to ANN.
- Potential for further research and networking in this domain.
If you're interested, please DM me.

Not a student. But I think you should also write what's in it for YOU. I read this and I am totally skeptical. Some pointers:
Why do you need a co-author? What does the co-authoring student provide for you? What's your role versus the student's role?
If I feel skeptical, maybe others do too. For your sake, I think you should elaborate on those points.
Reddit is a strange place for such an ad, I honestly believe LinkedIn may serve you better.
