From a6c2e827f7fc0dec2f6fc18049742bdb58816179 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "google-labs-jules[bot]" <161369871+google-labs-jules[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 30 May 2026 19:38:26 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?=E2=9A=A1=20Bolt:=20vectorize=20BasicEstimator.?= =?UTF-8?q?predict?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Vectorized the distance calculation in BasicEstimator.predict using NumPy matrix operations and the Euclidean distance expansion formula. This eliminates the per-embedding Python loop and provides a ~12x speedup for batch predictions. - Updated fit() and load() to pre-calculate fitted embedding norms. - Updated predict() to use vectorized matrix operations. - Added np.maximum(dists_sq, 0) to handle floating-point precision issues. - Ensured backward compatibility for models loaded from older versions. - Added a benchmark script in extra/benchmark_estimator.py.
