What cosine similarity threshold should I use?

Typical thresholds: >0.9 near-duplicate, >0.8 high similarity, >0.7 related content. Optimal value depends heavily on the embedding model and domain.

How does dimensionality affect cosine similarity?

Higher-dimensional embeddings concentrate cosine distances, making threshold selection harder. PCA or UMAP can help visualize the distribution.

Embedding Similarity Cosine Threshold

Determine the optimal cosine similarity threshold for semantic similarity tasks by computing precision-recall at each threshold on a labeled dataset.
