Vector Comparison Calculator Flow
This Node-RED flow implements a Vector Comparison Calculator that allows you to compare two vectors using different distance or similarity functions. The flow provides an HTTP endpoint ("/run") to receive POST requests with the vectors and the desired comparison parameters. It verifies the shape of the vectors and performs the specified calculation using the selected function. The calculated result is then sent as the response. Additionally, there is an initialization endpoint ("/init") for any required setup. The flow includes error handling and debugging nodes for better troubleshooting. It also contains a test input injection node to demonstrate the functionality of the Vector Comparison Calculator.
Here are the different methods implemented for vector comparison in the Vector Comparison Calculator:
- Euclidean distance
- Squared Euclidean distance
- Additive symmetric distance
- Average distance
- Bhattacharyya distance
- Cosine similarity
- Czekanowski similarity
- Dice similarity
- Intersection similarity
