Piotr MigdałI’m excited to share my newest blog post, "Don't sure cosine similarity carelessly"<a href="https://p.migdal.pl/blog/2025/01/dont-use-cosine-similarity" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://p.migdal.pl/blog/2025/01/dont-use-cosine-similarity</a>We often rely on cosine similarity to compare embeddings—it's like “duct tape” for vector comparisons. But just like duct tape, it can quietly mask deeper problems. Sometimes, embeddings pick up a “wrong kind” of similarity, matching questions to questions instead of questions to answers or getting thrown off by formatting quirks and typos rather than the text's real meaning.In my post, I discuss what can go wrong with off-the-shelf cosine similarity and share practical alternatives. If you’ve ever wondered why your retrieval system returns oddly matched items or how to refine your embeddings for more meaningful results, this is for you! ` I want to thank Max Salamonowicz and Grzegorz Kossakowski for their feedback after my flash talk at the Warsaw AI Breakfast, Rafał Małanij for inviting me to give a talk at the Python Summit, and for all the curious questions at the conference, and LinkedIn. <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/cosineSimilarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cosineSimilarity</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/embedding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#embedding</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/llm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#llm</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/similarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#similarity</a>

Harmony SeekerIn tonight’s tutorial, we talked about how psychology makes sense of emotions like love. Is it all subjective? Maybe not as much as you think. Love can be studied scientifically—not just through brain scans showing neurotransmitters like dopamine and oxytocin but also through observable behaviours.Take reciprocity: when someone likes us, we’re more likely to like them back. Or similarity: shared values, interests, and beliefs often strengthen attraction. Add proximity and familiarity—the magic of repeated exposure—and you start seeing how relationships form. Then there’s complementarity: where differences between people don’t divide but balance and enhance connection.What fascinates me is how psychology bridges the personal and the universal. Yes, love feels deeply subjective, but studies show patterns we can test and measure—observing behaviours, tracking emotional responses, and using physiological data to explore what we feel.Have you noticed these dynamics in your relationships? <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Psychology</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Love" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Love</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Relationships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Relationships</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Emotions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Emotions</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Reciprocity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reciprocity</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Similarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Similarity</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Proximity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Proximity</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Familiarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Familiarity</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Complementarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Complementarity</a>

The common theme of these problems is that when the dimensionality increases, the volume of the space increases so fast that the available data become sparse. In order to obtain a reliable result, the amount of data needed often grows exponentially with the dimensionality. Also, organizing and searching data often relies on detecting areas where objects form groups with similar properties; in high dimensional data, however, all objects appear to be sparse and dissimilar in many ways, which prevents common data organization strategies from being efficient.

Donovan YoungAfter <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@johncarlosbaez" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@johncarlosbaez</a> discussed the connection of triangles to elliptic functions, I wondered: what's the space of all triangles (up to similarity)? Here's a nice way to visualise it as a region in the plane defined by two of the angles. The \( \theta_1 \leftrightarrow \theta_2 \) and \( \theta_1 \leftrightarrow \pi - \theta_1 - \theta_2 \) symmetry defines the boundaries.
