sklearn.metrics.pairwise.cosine_distances(X, Y=None)[source]#

Compute cosine distance between samples in X and Y.

Cosine distance is defined as 1.0 minus the cosine similarity.

Y{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples_Y, n_features), default=None

Matrix Y.

Returns:
distancesndarray of shape (n_samples_X, n_samples_Y)

Returns the cosine distance between samples in X and Y.
