Distance

This page provides C++ class references for the publicly-exposed elements of the cuvs/distance package. cuVS’s distances have been highly optimized and support a wide assortment of different distance measures.

Distance Types

#include <cuvs/distance/distance_types.hpp>

namespace cuvs::distance

enum cuvs::distance::DistanceType

enum to tell how to compute distance

Values:

enumerator L2Expanded

evaluate as dist_ij = sum(x_ik^2) + sum(y_ij)^2 - 2*sum(x_ik * y_jk)

enumerator L2SqrtExpanded

same as above, but inside the epilogue, perform square root operation

enumerator CosineExpanded

cosine distance

enumerator L1

L1 distance

enumerator L2Unexpanded

evaluate as dist_ij += (x_ik - y-jk)^2

enumerator L2SqrtUnexpanded

same as above, but inside the epilogue, perform square root operation
