- Cosine similarity is a technique to find the similarity measures. A cosine similarity formula would measuresimilarity between two vectors. This is done by finding the angle space between the two vectors. The cosine values rangefrom 0 to 1, accordingly the angle varies from 90 to 0 degrees respectively. If the cosine value is 1, it means the anglebetween the vectors is 0. This implies that the two vectors are the same. Whereas if the cosine value is 0, it means that theangle between them is 90 degrees; which subsequently implies that the two vectors are distinctively different. Cosinesimilarity has various applications, especially in data mining, like text summarization. This paper recommends a noveltechnique of calculating cosine similarity. The technique is validated by observing experimental results which prove to bemore cost effective and efficient
