0° Means Besties, 90° Means Strangers: The Math Behind Cosine Similarity
Cosine Similarity is like the social network of vectors—it measures how close two points are based on the angle between them. A 0° angle? Total BFFs, perfectly aligned. A 90° angle? Complete strangers, no common ground. It’s the secret sauce behind recommendations, NLP, and clustering, helping machines figure out who’s vibing and who’s not. Math has never been so… social.
