I’m using the same code in exercise 2 to calculate distance. In exercise 2 I pass it, but in exercise 3 it returns an error. How do I fix it?

Hey @yahyasyukri,
Welcome to the community. Can you please DM your code for the function who_is_it to me? For DM, click on my name and select “Message”.

Hey @yahyasyukri,
In this function, dist represents the L2 distance between the target “encoding” and the current db_enc from the database. However, in your code, you are computing the square of the L2 distance, i.e., you need to change the below line of code from:

dist = tf.reduce_sum(tf.square(tf.subtract(db_enc, encoding)))

to

dist = tf.reduce_sum(tf.square(tf.subtract(db_enc, encoding[0])))**0.5

Do check if you have done the same mistake in your previous functions as well. If so, then do correct them as well. I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Elemento

It works. Thank you very much

Why are we taking power of 0.5? Can you please explain

Taking power of 0.5 is under root…

Hey @Shubham219,
In addition to @saifkhanengr’s answer, taking root is the part of the formulation of L2 distance or L2 norm. You can check out the formulation once for your reference.
