Embedding

A numerical representation of text, images, or other data that captures semantic meaning in a continuous vector space.

In more detail

Embeddings convert discrete items (words, documents, images) into vectors of real numbers. Embeddings capture semantic relationships - similar items have similar vectors. Used for similarity search, clustering, and as inputs to ML models. Examples: Word2Vec, GloVe, BERT embeddings.

Examples

  • Word embeddings in language models
  • Image embeddings for similarity search
  • Document embeddings for semantic search
  • Semantic similarity comparison
