title: 'VectrixDB: Lightweight Vector Database with Embedded Machine Learning Models'
version: 1.1.2
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.VectrixDB
abstract: A lightweight vector database for text retrieval in R with embedded machine
  learning models and no external API (Application Programming Interface) keys. Supports
  dense and hybrid search, optional HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) approximate
  nearest-neighbor indexing, faceted filters with ACL (Access Control List) metadata,
  command-line tools, and a local dashboard built with 'shiny'. The HNSW method is
  described by Malkov and Yashunin (2018) <https://doi.org/10.1109/TPAMI.2018.2889473>.
