At this year’s Europython, I presented a talk on ‘Speeding up search with locality sensitive hashing’.

In the talk, I presented the intuition behind locality sensitive hashing and discussed several Python packages for performing approximate nearest neighbour searches (including my own, rpforest).

If you are interested in the details, please see my blog post on the Lyst developers blog. The recording of the talk and slides are embedded below.
