How to calculate the Cosine similarity between two tensors?

Question

I have two normalized tensors and I need to calculate the cosine similarity between these tensors. How do I do it with TensorFlow?

cosine(normalize_a,normali         


        

Answer 1

This will do the job:

a = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, shape=[None], name="input_placeholder_a")
b = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, shape=[None], name="input_placeholder_b")
normalize_a = tf.nn.l2_normalize(a,0)        
normalize_b = tf.nn.l2_normalize(b,0)
cos_similarity=tf.reduce_sum(tf.multiply(normalize_a,normalize_b))
sess=tf.Session()
cos_sim=sess.run(cos_similarity,feed_dict={a:[1,2,3],b:[2,4,6]})

This prints 0.99999988
