💡 What:

Vectorized the predict method of BasicEstimator using the squared Euclidean distance expansion formula ($||a-b||^2 = ||a||^2 + ||b||^2 - 2ab$). Added pre-calculation of squared norms in the fit method to avoid redundant work during prediction.

🎯 Why:

The original implementation performed an iterative loop over query embeddings, calling np.linalg.norm for each one. This was inefficient for batches of queries, failing to leverage NumPy's optimized BLAS operations.

📊 Impact:

Measurable speedup of ~2x to ~12x for batch predictions. In benchmarks with 500 queries against 2000 fitted embeddings, execution time dropped from ~230ms to ~20ms.

🔬 Measurement:

Verified correctness and performance using a comparison benchmark against the original iterative logic. Results matched with a tolerance of 1e-5, and numerical stability was ensured using np.maximum(dists_sq, 0). Existing tests pass.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 6468981687829390383 started by @guesswh0

Vectorized the prediction logic in BasicEstimator using the squared
Euclidean distance expansion formula. This replaces the iterative
O(N) loop over query embeddings with optimized matrix operations.

Key changes:
- Added `norms_sq` pre-calculation to `fit()`.
- Implemented vectorized `predict()` using `np.dot`.
- Added numerical stability guards and backward compatibility.
- Improved robustness for single-embedding inputs.
