A Vector Store is a data structure that allows for the storage and manipulation of vectors. Vectors are mathematical objects that have both magnitude and direction. This project aims to provide a basic implementation of a Vector Store, which can be further expanded and optimized as per specific requirements.
To run this project, it is recommended to set up a virtual environment and install the necessary dependencies. Follow the steps below:
-
Clone the repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/valiantlynx/simple-vector-store.git
-
Navigate to the project directory.
cd simple-vector-store
-
Create a virtual environment.
python -m venv venv
-
Activate the virtual environment.
source venv/bin/activate
-
Install the required dependencies.
pip install numpy
To use the Vector Store in your own projects, follow the example code below:
# Import the VectorStore class
from vectorstore import VectorStore
# Create an instance of the VectorStore
vector_store = VectorStore()
# Add a vector to the store
vector_store.add_vector(vector_id, vector_data)
# Retrieve a vector from the store
vector = vector_store.get_vector(vector_id)
# Update the index of a vector in the store
vector_store.update_index(vector_id, updated_vector_data)
# Find similar vectors in the store based on a query vector
similar_vectors = vector_store.find_similar_vectors(query_vector, num_results)
Make sure to replace vector_id
, vector_data
, updated_vector_data
, query_vector
, and num_results
with appropriate values as per your specific use case.
