Description

What happened?

mypy complains about type errors in chromadb/utils/embedding_functions.py, specifically with some __call__ and _normalize methods. See some of the #type: ignores in https://github.com/chroma-core/chroma/pull/1163 for specifics.

It's worth figuring out the correct type annotations for these methods and the methods they call into so that our type checking works as intended.

Versions

Chroma latest, python 3.9.6, macOS

Relevant log output

No response
