Cosine Similarity ElasticSearch

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I'm using elasticsearch to index documents and then, with an other document, I score similarity using the "more_like_this" query.
Just two questions:

Does the "more_like_this" query use cosine similarity to score documents (I've read the documentation, but I'm still not sure)?
There is a way to get the scores between 0 and 1?

Thanks!

I am also interested in this question.

I have found a fairly old code snippet [1] to calculate the cosine
similarity in lucene, but I was wondering if elasticsearch provided an
easier API to access this information.

Hello Rick ,

MLT query translates the source document into a normal boolean terms query.
This query is fired against the index and a normal TF IDF is used to find
the score.
AFAIK this is the working of MLT.

Thanks

Hi,

I found some native script codings from Igor Motov
here: https://github.com/imotov/elasticsearch-native-script-example/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/examples/nativescript/script/CosineSimilarityScoreScript.java

and now playing with it
