How similarity is calculated

Each concept is converted into a 768-dimensional vector using the nomic-embed-text model. Similarity scores are calculated using cosine similarity—measuring the angle between vectors. A score of 100% means identical meaning; lower scores indicate decreasing semantic relatedness.
