Constants

DISTANCE_MEASURE_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED

Value: 0

Should not be set.

Generated from protobuf enum DISTANCE_MEASURE_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED = 0;

SQUARED_L2_DISTANCE

Value: 1

Euclidean (L_2) Distance.

Generated from protobuf enum SQUARED_L2_DISTANCE = 1;

COSINE_DISTANCE

Value: 2

Cosine Distance. Defined as 1 - cosine similarity.

We strongly suggest using DOT_PRODUCT_DISTANCE + UNIT_L2_NORM instead of COSINE distance. Our algorithms have been more optimized for DOT_PRODUCT distance which, when combined with UNIT_L2_NORM, is mathematically equivalent to COSINE distance and results in the same ranking.

Generated from protobuf enum COSINE_DISTANCE = 2;

DOT_PRODUCT_DISTANCE

Value: 3

Dot Product Distance. Defined as a negative of the dot product.

Generated from protobuf enum DOT_PRODUCT_DISTANCE = 3;
