find closest numbers approximately












1












$begingroup$


I have a table like this:



TableTest



Col1  Col2  Col3  Col4
5 6 7 8
12 6 5 6
2 3.5 6 1


And I want to find the closest row with this: 4, 5.75, 7.2, 6 One human can find it (Row 1 is answer), But How can I write a query for Computer to find it?
I'm using SQL Server but i think it's relative machine learning

          This problem can be implemented as a query that minimizes "loss" from the inputs. If "mean square error" loss is used, loss calculation will look like :



          select col1, col2, (col1 - inp1)^2 + (col2 - inp2)^2 as mse_loss, 
          from table


          Now, you can find the row with least value of mse_loss
