Multilingual semantic similarity
cosine similarity (method detail)0.771

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.771); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.
