Quick Example

Rust

use ruvector_postgres::attention::{ScaledDotAttention, Attention};

let attention = ScaledDotAttention::new(64);
let query = vec![1.0; 64];
let keys = vec![&vec![1.0; 64][..], &vec![0.5; 64][..]];
let scores = attention.attention_scores(&query, &keys);

SQL

SELECT ruvector_attention_score(
    ARRAY[1.0, 0.0, 0.0]::float4[],
    ARRAY[1.0, 0.0, 0.0]::float4[],
    'scaled_dot'
);
