Similarity Search

"""
Similarity Search : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_search
Similarity search is a search algorithm for finding the nearest vector from
vectors, used in natural language processing.
In this algorithm, it calculates distance with euclidean distance and
returns a list containing two data for each vector:
    1. the nearest vector
    2. distance between the vector and the nearest vector (float)

    These are the errors that might occur:

    1. If dimensions are different.
    For example, dataset has 2d array and value_array has 1d array:
    >>> dataset = np.array([[1]])
    >>> value_array = np.array([1])
    >>> similarity_search(dataset, value_array)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
    ValueError: Wrong input data's dimensions... dataset : 2, value_array : 1

    2. If data's shapes are different.
    For example, dataset has shape of (3, 2) and value_array has (2, 3).
    We are expecting same shapes of two arrays, so it is wrong.
    >>> dataset = np.array([[0, 0], [1, 1], [2, 2]])
    >>> value_array = np.array([[0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1]])
    >>> similarity_search(dataset, value_array)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
    ValueError: Wrong input data's shape... dataset : 2, value_array : 3

    3. If data types are different.
    When trying to compare, we are expecting same types so they should be same.
    If not, it'll come up with errors.
