Calculate the cosine of two matrices - Python

Question

I defined two matrices as below:

from scipy import linalg, mat, dot
a = mat([-0.711,0.730])
b = mat([-1.099,0.124])

Now I want to calculate the cosine similarity of these two matrices . What happened to the following code. It gives me an errorobjects are not aligned

c = dot(a,b)/np.linalg.norm(a)/np.linalg.norm(b)

Answer 1

You cannot multiply a 1x2 matrix by a 1x2 matrix. To calculate the point product between their lines, the second must be transposed.

from scipy import linalg, mat, dot
a = mat([-0.711,0.730])
b = mat([-1.099,0.124])

c = dot(a,b.T)/linalg.norm(a)/linalg.norm(b)

Answer 2

also:

import numpy as np
import scipy.spatial.distance as distance
a = np.array([0.1, 0.2])
b = np.array([0.3,0.4])
c = 1 - distance.cosine(a, b)
