Change request? sorry, yes like a PR but from a parallel universe (code review actually) So .. theoretical considerations aside, what's the alternative here -- we would treat the threshold as a "vector similarity" and internally convert it to a score. I mean that seems to make sense -- all the conversions are invertible, right? I think we'd want to add a normalize method to VectorSimilarity for this internal use. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
