@jmazanec15 this is accounted for in the corrections. The moving from signed to unsigned is still just a linear transformation, we are not manually flipping signs, but instead doing a full linear scale. Assuming your vectors are in order that you provided `[[-6][-2][3][6]]` Their calculated dot-product corrections are `[18.0, -5.8750076, -35.787956, -54.0]` For query vector `[-5]` its correction is `11.95908` The overall quantile multiplier is `0.008928018` To calculate the corrected dot-product score `quantizedDotProduct * multiplier + queryCorrection + vectorCorrection` The raw dot-products (in order of the vectors) ``` [30.0, 10.0, -15.0, -30.0] ``` The quantized dot-products with corrections ``` [29.95908, 10.208817, -14.499098, -29.568478] ``` Of course, the quantized scores without corrections (thus not accounting for linear shift and breaking max-inner product score scaling) ``` [0.0, 462.0, 1045.0, 1397.0] ``` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
