Migrate to Eigen's sparse vector class?

1

It would be nice to use Eigen's sparse vector class because it supports linear algebra operations without additional work on our side (as opposed to the std::vector we are currently...

Provide an example for using FALCONN with sparse data

4

Probably good to figure #5 out first.

We should see if we can do something similar to annoy's mmap solution.

Computing the candidate distances with reduced precision (8 or 16 bit integers) could give a large speed-up. We could also use the low-precision distances as a filter and do a...

Points to cover: - Linting `clang-format --style=Google -i ` - Running unit tests (ideally also set up some continuous integration service, see #13) - Pull requests - What else?

Refactor the Makefile
