List of (approximate) nearest neighbor packages in Julia

[Datseris]

If we want to have a common API, here are the possible packages to cover:

1. https://github.com/KristofferC/NearestNeighbors.jl
2. https://github.com/JuliaNeighbors/IVFADC.jl
3. https://github.com/JuliaNeighbors/BKTrees.jl
4. https://github.com/JuliaNeighbors/HNSW.jl
5. https://github.com/dillondaudert/NearestNeighborDescent.jl
6. https://github.com/altre/VPTrees.jl
7. https://github.com/wildart/FLANN.jl
8. https://github.com/dillondaudert/RandomProjectionTrees.jl
9. https://github.com/sadit/SimilaritySearch.jl
10. https://github.com/davnn/ParallelNeighbors.jl

If there are some I've missed, add a comment and I'll add them.

There's also https://github.com/dillondaudert/RandomProjectionTrees.jl , although it's still a WIP :)

Hi, I just wanted to move altre/VPTrees to this organization. I thought it would work by using Settings -> Danger Zone -> Transfer ownership, but all I get is "You don’t have the permission to create public repositories on JuliaNeighbors". Anything I'm doing wrong?

[Datseris]

@JonasIsensee can you make me co-owner of the org please? @altre the reason is that you have not been invited to the org yet.... SOrry for that, let's try to fix it ASAP.

[JonasIsensee]

Done.
I've somewhat lost track of the conversations here.
Thank you for taking care of things.

@altre you have been invited but you haven't join yet. Once you join everything will progress. I've alread made a team for VPTrees.
