VectrixDB: Lightweight Vector Database with Embedded Machine Learning Models

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) <doi:10.1109/TPAMI.2018.2889473>.
