Cosine Similarity
The normalized dot product of two vectors. It compares their direction rather than their magnitude and ranges from -1 to 1 for real-valued vectors.
Common confusion
High cosine similarity only has meaning relative to the embedding model and the data distribution. It does not prove factual or semantic equivalence.
