💡 What:

  • Vectorized BasicEstimator.predict distance calculation using the squared distance expansion formula (||a-b||^2 = ||a||^2 + ||b||^2 - 2ab) and NumPy's BLAS-optimized np.dot.
  • Added pre-calculation of fitted embedding norms in BasicEstimator.fit.
  • Implemented streaming decompression for .bz2 archives in _unpack_bz2 using bz2.open and shutil.copyfileobj.
  • Ensured BasicEstimator.predict handles list-like inputs with np.asarray.

🎯 Why:

  • The previous loop-based implementation of predict was slow for batch predictions, especially as the number of fitted embeddings increased.
  • The previous implementation of _unpack_bz2 read the entire archive into memory, leading to high peak memory usage.

📊 Impact:

  • BasicEstimator.predict is ~7.3x faster (benchmarked 0.2075s -> 0.0282s per call for 500 input vs 2000 fitted embeddings).
  • Reduced peak memory usage during model/data extraction.

🔬 Measurement:

  • Run the test suite: PYTHONPATH=. python3 -m unittest discover tests.
  • Performance verified with benchmark script (0.2075s vs 0.0282s).

- Vectorize BasicEstimator.predict using the squared distance expansion formula.
- Pre-calculate squared norms in BasicEstimator.fit for efficiency.
- Implement streaming decompression in _unpack_bz2 to reduce peak memory usage.
- Ensure backward compatibility for persisted models without pre-calculated norms.
- Improve BasicEstimator.predict robustness with np.asarray.
