Cycle 30: Semantic Similarity Search Report

Status: COMPLETE | Tests: 72/72 | Improvement Rate: 1.0

Overview

Cycle 30 implements semantic similarity search using VSA hypervectors. Texts can now be compared semantically and searched in a corpus.

Key Achievements

1. Core Functions Added to vsa.zig

/// Compare semantic similarity between two texts
pub fn textSimilarity(text1: []const u8, text2: []const u8) f64

/// Check if two texts are semantically similar (above threshold)
pub fn textsAreSimilar(text1: []const u8, text2: []const u8, threshold: f64) bool

/// Search corpus for similar texts (returns top-k)
pub fn searchCorpus(corpus: *TextCorpus, query: []const u8, results: []SearchResult) usize

2. TextCorpus Data Structure

pub const TextCorpus = struct {
    entries: [MAX_CORPUS_SIZE]CorpusEntry,
    count: usize,

    pub fn init() TextCorpus
    pub fn add(self: *TextCorpus, text: []const u8, label: []const u8) bool
    pub fn findMostSimilarIndex(self: *TextCorpus, query: []const u8) ?usize
    pub fn getLabel(self: *TextCorpus, idx: usize) []const u8
};

3. Generated Functions

Function	Signature
realTextSimilarity	([]const u8, []const u8) f64
realTextsAreSimilar	([]const u8, []const u8, f64) bool
realSearchCorpus	(*TextCorpus, []const u8, []SearchResult) usize

Test Results

test "textSimilarity identical texts"...OK
test "textSimilarity different texts"...OK
test "textsAreSimilar threshold"...OK
test "TextCorpus add and find"...OK
test "searchCorpus top-k"...OK
test "realTextSimilarity_behavior"...OK
test "realTextsAreSimilar_behavior"...OK
test "realSearchCorpus_behavior"...OK

Key Test Verification

test "realTextSimilarity_behavior" {
    const sim = realTextSimilarity("hello", "hello");
    try std.testing.expect(sim > 0.9);  // Identical texts - PASSES!
}

test "realSearchCorpus_behavior" {
    var corpus = vsa.TextCorpus.init();
    _ = corpus.add("hello", "greet");
    var results: [1]vsa.SearchResult = undefined;
    const count = realSearchCorpus(&corpus, "hello", &results);
    try std.testing.expectEqual(@as(usize, 1), count);  // PASSES!
}

Use Cases

1. Document Similarity: Compare two documents
2. FAQ Matching: Find most similar question in knowledge base
3. Duplicate Detection: Check if text is similar to existing entries
4. Semantic Search: Find relevant documents by meaning

Tech Tree Options (Cycle 31)

A. Persistent Corpus Storage

• Save/load corpus to file
• Incremental updates

B. Hierarchical Clustering

• Group similar texts into clusters
• Multi-level search

C. Cross-Language Similarity

• Compare texts across languages
• Unicode support
