Introducing SimiLite: Enabling Similarity Retrieval in SQL
Abstract
This project has implemented SimiLite, a plug-in to SQLite which en-ables the usage of metric indices in SQL tables. SimiLite can easily beextended with different indices, and the indices LAESA and SSSTreehas been implemented and verified.This project has also implemented a framework for easy comparisonof the indices within SimiLite.It was found that while SimiLite causes a slow-down of about 5-10compared to the reference solution for a light metric, this will balanceout quickly once the cost of the metric increases.
