@Inject public DistanceVectorSimilarity()
Construct a new distance similarity function. It computes similarity as (1-|v1-v2|_2). after normalizing vectors to be unit vectors Similarity is in range [-1,1];
public double similarity(SparseVector vec1, SparseVector vec2)
VectorSimilarity
Compute the similarity between two vectors.
similarity
in interface VectorSimilarity
vec1
- The left vector to compare.vec2
- The right vector to compare.public boolean isSparse()
VectorSimilarity
Query whether this similarity function is sparse (returns 0 for vectors with disjoint key sets).
isSparse
in interface VectorSimilarity
true
iff VectorSimilarity.similarity(SparseVector, SparseVector)
will always return true when applied to two vectors with no keys in common.public boolean isSymmetric()
VectorSimilarity
Query whether this similarity function is symmetric. Symmetric similarity functions return the same result when called on (A,B) and (B,A).
isSymmetric
in interface VectorSimilarity
true
if the function is symmetric.
