VertexCosineSimilarity

VertexCosineSimilarity[g,u,v]

gives the cosine similarity between vertices u and v of the graph g.

VertexCosineSimilarity[{vw,…},…]

uses rules vw to specify the graph g.

Details

  • The vertex cosine similarity is also known as Salton similarity.
  • The vertex cosine similarity is the number of common neighbors of u and v divided by the geometric mean of their degrees.
  • VertexCosineSimilarity works with undirected graphs, directed graphs, weighted graphs, multigraphs, and mixed graphs.

Properties & Relations  (3)

Use CosineDistance to compute the cosine similarity of a graph:

The cosine similarity between two vertices is equal to zero if one of the vertices has degree zero:

The cosine similarity between two vertices is equal to one if they have the same neighbors:
