# vembed



<br/>
<br/>


Library for Generating Vector Embeddings, performing Similarity searches, and creating Visualizations from Data.


<br/>
<br/>


```bash

pip3 install vembed

```


<br/>

<hr/>

### Strings to Embeddings 
<br/>

- **Convert** a **String** to a **Vector Embedding**.

```py
from vembed import string_to_embedding

input_string = "This is a test sentence."

embedding = string_to_embedding(input_string)

#  [0.337, 0.143, 0.714 ...]
```
<br/>

- Use **Batching** to Convert Lists of Strings to their **Vector Float** Representations.

```py
from vembed import lists_to_embeddings

embeddings = lists_to_embeddings(["Convert to a List[Float]", "Another String", "More Strings!"])

# print(embeddings) [[0.123, 0.456, ...], [0.789, 0.012, ...]]
```
<br/>

### Serialization
<br/>

Functions for Embedding Serialization for Network Transfer.

<br/>

- **Protobuf** Serialization for usage with **gRPC** Services

- **JSON** Serialization for usage with **REST** API's

<br/>

```py
from vembed import lists_to_embeddings, embeddings_to_proto_format, embeddings_to_json_format

embeddings = lists_to_embeddings(["CSV,Row,1,with,some,data" , "CSV,Row,2,with,other,cols"])

# Convert to a Protobuf Serializable Format to send over a gRPC Service
proto_embedding = embeddings_to_proto_format(embeddings)

# Convert to a JSON String for usage with REST API's
json_embedding = embeddings_to_json_format(embeddings)
```

<hr/>

<br/>

### Similarity 

<br/>


*Semantic Similarity Between Entities*

<br/>

Extract Insights such as Patterns or Relevancy from your Data.

<br/>

- Calculating Similarity for Entities.

<br/>

```py
from vembed import calculate_similarities, plot_similarities

customer_feedback = ["Loved the recent update","The app is user-friendly",
                    "Facing issues after the update","The new interface is great"]

themes            = ["positive feedback","negative feedback","app interface","app functionality"]

cos_df, dot_df = calculate_similarities(customer_feedback, themes, print_results=True)

# Prints and Returns Results
```

<br/>

```bash
# Results

Cosine Similarities:

Query: 'Loved the recent update'
  Data: 'positive feedback' => Similarity Score: 0.45
  Data: 'app functionality' => Similarity Score: 0.22
  Data: 'app interface'     => Similarity Score: 0.19
  Data: 'negative feedback' => Similarity Score: 0.11

Query: 'Facing issues after the update'
  Data: 'negative feedback' => Similarity Score: 0.31
  Data: 'positive feedback' => Similarity Score: 0.27
  Data: 'app interface'     => Similarity Score: 0.24
  Data: 'app functionality' => Similarity Score: 0.21

Dot Product Similarities:

Query: 'Loved the recent update'
  Data: 'positive feedback' => Similarity Score: 4.51
  Data: 'app functionality' => Similarity Score: 2.06
  Data: 'negative feedback' => Similarity Score: 1.91
  Data: 'app interface'     => Similarity Score: 1.80

Query: 'Facing issues after the update'
  Data: 'negative feedback' => Similarity Score: 2.92
  Data: 'positive feedback' => Similarity Score: 2.51
  Data: 'app interface'     => Similarity Score: 2.07
  Data: 'app functionality' => Similarity Score: 1.82
```

<br/>

- Generating *Clean*, *Beautiful* Visualizations from Data.

<br/>


```py
from vembed import plot_similarities

# .... cos_df, dot_df = calculate_similarities(queries, data)

# Create HeapMap for Visualizing Relationships

plot_similarities(cos_df, dot_df, save_path="heatmaps/customer_feedback_similarity.png")

# View and access the Heatmap at /heatmaps/customer_feedback_similarity.png
```
<hr/>

<br/>

### Cosine and Dot Product Vector Similarity Measures

```bash
@Coefficient Legend

Negative [ - ] - Low Similarity
Zero     [ 0 ] - Orthogonal , No Commonality
Positive [ + ] - Strong Similarity 
```

<br/>

#### Cosine Similarity 

<br/>

  - Ranges between `-1` and `1`

  - Recommended when the Context and Similarity is important - and Frequency is not important (Magnitude)

<br/>

- Use Case for Cosine Similarity 
  
  - In the following example, **Direction** *(thematic orienation)* - **climate change, agriculture** is relevant. 

  - **Cosine Similarity** is useful here as we want to find the relevancy of documents discussing similar topics *(direction)* - irrespective of the length of frequency of specific words *(Magnitude)*

<br/>

```py
@Usage

queries = ["Climate change effects on agriculture"]

data =    [
           "Effects of climate change on wheat production",
           "Agriculture in developing countries",
           "Climate change and its impact on global food security",
           "Advances in agricultural technology"
          ]

# Calculate cosine similarities
cos_df, _ = calculate_similarities(queries, data, sorted=True, print_results=True)
```
<br/>

#### Dot Product Similarity 
<br/>

  - Ranges between any Real Number 

  - When both the **Magnitude** and **Direction** of the vectors are important, and we are dealing with vectors in a similar scale.

  - When the **Frequency** *(Magnitude)* as well as the **Direction** *(Relevancy)* is both important.

<br/>

- Use Case for Dot Product 
  
  - **Direction** *(Types of Articles)* and **Magnitude** *(Frequency of Reading Habits)* - both have relevancy.

<br/>

```py
@Usage

user_reading_profile = [
                        "Read many articles on machine learning", 
                        "Occasionally reads about space exploration" 
                       ]

article_options      = [
                        "Latest trends in machine learning",
                        "Beginner's guide to space travel",
                        "In-depth analysis of neural networks",
                        "Recent discoveries in astronomy"
                       ]

# Calculate dot product similarities

_, dot_df = calculate_similarities(user_reading_profile, article_options, sorted=True, print_results=True)
```
<br/>


- Calculating Similarity

```py
@Usage

queries =  [ 
            "What is the capital of France?", 
            "How is the weather today?"
           ]

data    =  [
             "Paris is the capital of France.",
             "The weather is sunny.",
             "Berlin is the capital of Germany.",
             "It is raining in Berlin."
           ]

# Calculate similarities and Print Results

cos_df, dot_df = calculate_similarities(queries, data, sorted=True, print_results=True)


# Cosine Similarities:
# ...

# Dot Product Similarities:
# ...
```
<br/>

<hr/>


### Visualizations 

<br/>



***Generate Visualizations from Embeddings such as HeatMap Distributions***

<br/>

- Create a **Visualization** to display the ***Entity Similarities*** using a **Heatmap**.

<br/>

```py
@Usage

customer_feedback = [
                      "Loved the recent update",
                      "The app is user-friendly",
                      "Facing issues after the update",
                      "The new interface is great"
                    ]

themes            = [
                      "positive feedback",
                      "negative feedback",
                      "app interface",
                      "app functionality"
                    ]

# Heatmap of Both Cosine and Dot Product
cos_df, dot_df = calculate_similarities(customer_feedback, themes, sorted=True)
plot_similarities(cos_df, dot_df, save_path="customer_feedback_similarity.png")


# Heatmap of Only Cosine Similarity
cos_df, _ = calculate_similarities(customer_feedback, themes, sorted=True)
plot_similarities(cos_df, None, save_path="customer_feedback_similarity.png")


# Heatmap of Only Dot Product Similarity
_, dot_df = calculate_similarities(customer_feedback, themes, sorted=True)
plot_similarities(None, dot_df, save_path="customer_feedback_similarity.png")


# View customer_feedback_similarity.png to see the Heatmap
```
