8. Vector Proximity

Worked example

1. Scenario 1

   Worked example

   DatasetMath steps

   Scenario

   Using the sample Kifuliiru field values below, compute Vector Proximity.

   Input data

   Illustrative inputs

   Quantity	Symbol	Value
   Proximity/similarity score (-1 to 1)	P(u,v)	0.55
   Word embedding vectors	u, v	2

   Reasoning

   Use the listed values (P(u,v) = 0.55, u, v = 2) in the formula, then complete the remaining symbolic step by hand or in the playground. Interpret the result against the formula's stated purpose.

   Computation

   $$P(u,v)=\frac{\mathbf{u}\cdot \mathbf{v}}{\Vert \mathbf{u}\Vert \cdot \Vert \mathbf{v}\Vert }$$
