I'm wondering if SPTAG support vector dot product? eg, using a query vector search the database and return TopN vectors with ranking of dot product. If not supported, is there a plan?

Research direction

Start by reviewing SPTAG's existing vector-search interfaces and ranking behavior to determine whether dot-product queries are already supported. Define what support would mean for query execution and TopN ordering, then confirm the behavior with an appropriate search example or test; the issue provides no file or test entry point.
