COSINE_DISTANCE

COSINE_DISTANCE(vector1, vector2)

Description

Computes the cosine distance between two vectors.

Definitions

  • vector1: A vector that is represented by an ARRAY<T> value or a sparse vector that is represented by an ARRAY<STRUCT<dimension,magnitude>> value.
  • vector2: A vector that is represented by an ARRAY<T> value or a sparse vector that is represented by an ARRAY<STRUCT<dimension,magnitude>> value.

Details

  • ARRAY<T> can be used to represent a vector. Each zero-based index in this array represents a dimension. The value for each element in this array represents a magnitude.

    T can represent the following and must be the same for both vectors:

    • FLOAT64

    In the following example vector, there are four dimensions. The magnitude is 10.0 for dimension 0, 55.0 for dimension 1, 40.0 for dimension 2, and 34.0 for dimension 3:

    [10.0, 55.0, 40.0, 34.0]

  • ARRAY<STRUCT<dimension,magnitude>> can be used to represent a sparse vector. With a sparse vector, you only need to include dimension-magnitude pairs for non-zero magnitudes. If a magnitude isn't present in the sparse vector, the magnitude is implicitly understood to be zero.

    For example, if you have a vector with 10,000 dimensions, but only 10 dimensions have non-zero magnitudes, then the vector is a sparse vector. As a result, it's more efficient to describe a sparse vector by only mentioning its non-zero magnitudes.

    In ARRAY<STRUCT<dimension,magnitude>>, STRUCT<dimension,magnitude> represents a dimension-magnitude pair for each non-zero magnitude in a sparse vector. These parts need to be included for each dimension-magnitude pair:

    • dimension: A STRING or INT64 value that represents a dimension in a vector.

    • magnitude: A FLOAT64 value that represents a non-zero magnitude for a specific dimension in a vector.

    You don't need to include empty dimension-magnitude pairs in a sparse vector. For example, the following sparse vector and non-sparse vector are equivalent:

    -- sparse vector ARRAY<STRUCT<INT64, FLOAT64>>
[(1, 10.0), (2, 30.0), (5, 40.0)]

    -- vector ARRAY<FLOAT64>
[0.0, 10.0, 30.0, 0.0, 0.0, 40.0]

    In a sparse vector, dimension-magnitude pairs don't need to be in any particular order. The following sparse vectors are equivalent:

    [('a', 10.0), ('b', 30.0), ('d', 40.0)]

    [('d', 40.0), ('a', 10.0), ('b', 30.0)]

  • Both non-sparse vectors in this function must share the same dimensions, and if they don't, an error is produced.

  • A vector can't be a zero vector. A vector is a zero vector if it has no dimensions or all dimensions have a magnitude of 0, such as [] or [0.0, 0.0]. If a zero vector is encountered, an error is produced.

  • An error is produced if a magnitude in a vector is NULL.

  • If a vector is NULL, NULL is returned.

Return type

FLOAT64

Examples

In the following example, non-sparsevectors are used to compute the cosine distance:

SELECT COSINE_DISTANCE([1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]) AS results;

/*----------*
 | results  |
 +----------+
 | 0.016130 |
 *----------*/

In the following example, sparse vectors are used to compute the cosine distance:

SELECT COSINE_DISTANCE(
 [(1, 1.0), (2, 2.0)],
 [(2, 4.0), (1, 3.0)]) AS results;

 /*----------*
  | results  |
  +----------+
  | 0.016130 |
  *----------*/

The ordering of numeric values in a vector doesn't impact the results produced by this function. For example these queries produce the same results even though the numeric values in each vector is in a different order:

SELECT COSINE_DISTANCE([1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]) AS results;

SELECT COSINE_DISTANCE([2.0, 1.0], [4.0, 3.0]) AS results;

SELECT COSINE_DISTANCE([(1, 1.0), (2, 2.0)], [(1, 3.0), (2, 4.0)]) AS results;

 /*----------*
  | results  |
  +----------+
  | 0.016130 |
  *----------*/

In the following example, the function can't compute cosine distance against the first vector, which is a zero vector:

-- ERROR
SELECT COSINE_DISTANCE([0.0, 0.0], [3.0, 4.0]) AS results;

-- ERROR
SELECT COSINE_DISTANCE([(1, 0.0), (2, 0.0)], [(1, 3.0), (2, 4.0)]) AS results;

Both non-sparse vectors must have the same dimensions. If not, an error is produced. In the following example, the first vector has two dimensions and the second vector has three:

-- ERROR
SELECT COSINE_DISTANCE([9.0, 7.0], [8.0, 4.0, 5.0]) AS results;

If you use sparse vectors and you repeat a dimension, an error is produced:

-- ERROR
SELECT COSINE_DISTANCE(
  [(1, 9.0), (2, 7.0), (2, 8.0)], [(1, 8.0), (2, 4.0), (3, 5.0)]) AS results;

EUCLIDEAN_DISTANCE

EUCLIDEAN_DISTANCE(vector1, vector2)

Description

Computes the Euclidean distance between two vectors.

Definitions

  • vector1: A vector that is represented by an ARRAY<T> value or a sparse vector that is represented by an ARRAY<STRUCT<dimension,magnitude>> value.
  • vector2: A vector that is represented by an ARRAY<T> value or a sparse vector that is represented by an ARRAY<STRUCT<dimension,magnitude>> value.

    -- vector ARRAY<FLOAT64>

    [('a', 10.0), ('b', 30.0), ('d', 40.0)]

POWER

POWER(X, Y)

Description

Synonym of POW(X, Y).

RAND

RAND()

Description

Generates a pseudo-random value of type FLOAT64 in the range of [0, 1), inclusive of 0 and exclusive of 1.

RANGE_BUCKET

RANGE_BUCKET(point, boundaries_array)

Description

RANGE_BUCKET scans through a sorted array and returns the 0-based position of the point's upper bound. This can be useful if you need to group your data to build partitions, histograms, business-defined rules, and more.

RANGE_BUCKET follows these rules:

  • If the point exists in the array, returns the index of the next larger value.

    RANGE_BUCKET(20, [0, 10, 20, 30, 40]) -- 3 is return value
RANGE_BUCKET(20, [0, 10, 20, 20, 40, 40]) -- 4 is return value

  • If the point does not exist in the array, but it falls between two values, returns the index of the larger value.

    RANGE_BUCKET(25, [0, 10, 20, 30, 40]) -- 3 is return value

  • If the point is smaller than the first value in the array, returns 0.

    RANGE_BUCKET(-10, [5, 10, 20, 30, 40]) -- 0 is return value

  • If the point is greater than or equal to the last value in the array, returns the length of the array.

    RANGE_BUCKET(80, [0, 10, 20, 30, 40]) -- 5 is return value

  • If the array is empty, returns 0.

    RANGE_BUCKET(80, []) -- 0 is return value

  • If the point is NULL or NaN, returns NULL.

    RANGE_BUCKET(NULL, [0, 10, 20, 30, 40]) -- NULL is return value

  • The data type for the point and array must be compatible.

    RANGE_BUCKET('a', ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']) -- 1 is return value
RANGE_BUCKET(1.2, [1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6]) -- 2 is return value
RANGE_BUCKET(1.2, [1, 2, 4, 6]) -- execution failure

Execution failure occurs when:

  • The array has a NaN or NULL value in it.

    RANGE_BUCKET(80, [NULL, 10, 20, 30, 40]) -- execution failure

  • The array is not sorted in ascending order.

    RANGE_BUCKET(30, [10, 30, 20, 40, 50]) -- execution failure

Parameters

  • point: A generic value.
  • boundaries_array: A generic array of values.

Return Value

INT64

Examples

In a table called students, check to see how many records would exist in each age_group bucket, based on a student's age:

  • age_group 0 (age < 10)
  • age_group 1 (age >= 10, age < 20)
  • age_group 2 (age >= 20, age < 30)
  • age_group 3 (age >= 30)
WITH students AS
(
  SELECT 9 AS age UNION ALL
  SELECT 20 AS age UNION ALL
  SELECT 25 AS age UNION ALL
  SELECT 31 AS age UNION ALL
  SELECT 32 AS age UNION ALL
  SELECT 33 AS age
)
SELECT RANGE_BUCKET(age, [10, 20, 30]) AS age_group, COUNT(*) AS count
FROM students
GROUP BY 1

ROUND

ROUND(X [, N [, rounding_mode]])

Description

If only X is present, rounds X to the nearest integer. If N is present, rounds X to N decimal places after the decimal point. If N is negative, rounds off digits to the left of the decimal point. Rounds halfway cases away from zero. Generates an error if overflow occurs.

If X is a NUMERIC or BIGNUMERIC type, then you can explicitly set rounding_mode to one of the following:

If you set the rounding_mode and X is not a NUMERIC or BIGNUMERIC type, then the function generates an error.
