Vector embedding compression

A system for vector database compression, the system comprising:

• a database;
• a vector database;
• a processor;
• and
• at least one memory encoded with instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
• receive, from the vector database, first time-series vector data comprising a first plurality of vectors representative of data corresponding to a first time point;
• receive, from the vector database, second time-series vector data comprising a second plurality of vectors representative of data corresponding to a second time point, wherein each vector of the second plurality of vectors corresponds to one vector of the first plurality of vectors;
• receive, from the vector database third time-series vector data comprising a third plurality of vectors representative of data corresponding to a third time point, wherein:
• each vector of the third plurality of vectors corresponds to one vector of the first plurality of vectors and to one vector of the second plurality of vectors, and
• all of the first plurality of vectors, the second plurality of vectors, and the third plurality of vectors are generated by a common encoding algorithm;
• generate a first plurality of delta encodings by, for each vector of plurality of the second plurality of vectors and a corresponding vector of the first plurality of vectors, generating one delta encoding that describes differences between values of corresponding elements of the vector of the second plurality of vectors and the corresponding vector of the first plurality of vectors;
• generate a second plurality of delta encodings by, for each vector of the third plurality of vectors and a corresponding vector of the second plurality of vectors, generating one delta encoding that describes differences between values of corresponding elements of the vector of the third plurality of vectors and the corresponding vector of the second plurality of vectors;
• after generating the first plurality of delta encodings, modify the vector database to delete the first time-series vector data and the third time-series vector data;
• and
• modify database data of the database to store the first plurality of delta encodings and the second plurality of delta encodings to the database.
