The Math of Cosine Similarity
Details
Join us at our upcoming event on The Math of Cosine Similarity on Wednesday, November 19th at 6pm!
About the talk:
Join us for an enriching session on The Math of Cosine Similarity, where we’ll demystify one of the most powerful metrics in modern data science and machine learning. Whether you’re building a recommendation engine, working with text embeddings, or exploring vector-space models, understanding cosine similarity gives you the tools to compare, rank and retrieve high-dimensional data with confidence.
Seats are limited, make sure to save yourself a spot while they are still available!
