  2. Cosine similarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosine_similarity

    In data analysis, cosine similarity is a measure of similarity between two non-zero vectors defined in an inner product space. Cosine similarity is the cosine of the angle between the vectors; that is, it is the dot product of the vectors divided by the product of their lengths. It follows that the cosine similarity does not depend on the ...

  3. Similarity measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_measure

    In statistics and related fields, a similarity measure or similarity function or similarity metric is a real-valued function that quantifies the similarity between two objects. Although no single definition of a similarity exists, usually such measures are in some sense the inverse of distance metrics : they take on large values for similar ...

  4. Explicit semantic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_semantic_analysis

    Mathematically, this list is an N-dimensional vector of word-document scores, where a document not containing the query word has score zero. To compute the relatedness of two words, one compares the vectors (say u and v) by computing the cosine similarity,

  5. Collaborative filtering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_filtering

    Similarity computation between items or users is an important part of this approach. Multiple measures, such as Pearson correlation and vector cosine based similarity are used for this. The Pearson correlation similarity of two users x , y is defined as

  6. Word2vec - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word2vec

    In particular, words which appear in similar contexts are mapped to vectors which are nearby as measured by cosine similarity. This indicates the level of semantic similarity between the words, so for example the vectors for walk and ran are nearby, as are those for "but" and "however", and "Berlin" and "Germany".

  7. Similarity (network science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_(network_science)

    Salton proposed that we regard the i-th and j-th rows/columns of the adjacency matrix as two vectors and use the cosine of the angle between them as a similarity measure. The cosine similarity of i and j is the number of common neighbors divided by the geometric mean of their degrees. [4] Its value lies in the range from 0 to 1.

  8. Vector space model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_space_model

    Candidate documents from the corpus can be retrieved and ranked using a variety of methods. Relevance rankings of documents in a keyword search can be calculated, using the assumptions of document similarities theory, by comparing the deviation of angles between each document vector and the original query vector where the query is represented as a vector with same dimension as the vectors that ...

  9. Jaccard index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaccard_index

    In other contexts, where 0 and 1 carry equivalent information (symmetry), the SMC is a better measure of similarity. For example, vectors of demographic variables stored in dummy variables, such as gender, would be better compared with the SMC than with the Jaccard index since the impact of gender on similarity should be equal, independently of ...
