Cosine Distance Matrix

Given \(n\) feature vectors \(x_1 = (x_{11}, \ldots, x_{1p}), \ldots x_n = (x_{n1}, \ldots, x_{np})\) of dimension \(p\), the problem is to compute the symmetric \(n \times n\) matrix \(D_{\text{cos}} = (d_{ij})\) of distances between feature vectors, where

\[d_{ij} = 1 - \frac {\sum_{k=1}^{p} x_{ik} x_{jk}} {\sqrt{ \sum_{k=1}^{p} x_{ik}^2 } \sqrt{ \sum_{k=1}^{p} x_{jk}^2 }}\]
\[i = \overline{1, n}\]
\[j = \overline{1, n}\]

Result ID

Result

cosineDistance

Pointer to the numeric table that represents the \(n \times n\) symmetric distance matrix \(D_\text{cos}\).

By default, the result is an object of the PackedSymmetricMatrix class with the lowerPackedSymmetricMatrix layout. However, you can define the result as an object of any class derived from NumericTable except PackedTriangularMatrix and CSRNumericTable.

Performance Considerations

To get the best overall performance when computing the cosine distance matrix:

  • If input data is homogeneous, provide the input data and store results in homogeneous numeric tables of the same type as specified in the algorithmFPType class template parameter.

  • If input data is non-homogeneous, use AOS layout rather than SOA layout.
