Constants

DISTANCE_MEASURE_UNSPECIFIED

Value: 0

Should not be set.

Generated from protobuf enum DISTANCE_MEASURE_UNSPECIFIED = 0;

EUCLIDEAN

Value: 1

Measures the EUCLIDEAN distance between the vectors. See Euclidean to learn more

Generated from protobuf enum EUCLIDEAN = 1;

COSINE

Value: 2

Compares vectors based on the angle between them, which allows you to measure similarity that isn't based on the vectors magnitude.

We recommend using DOT_PRODUCT with unit normalized vectors instead of COSINE distance, which is mathematically equivalent with better performance. See Cosine Similarity to learn more.

Generated from protobuf enum COSINE = 2;

DOT_PRODUCT

Value: 3

Similar to cosine but is affected by the magnitude of the vectors. See Dot Product to learn more.

Generated from protobuf enum DOT_PRODUCT = 3;
