Embeddings

Meaning captured in numbers

Overview

Embeddings convert text into numerical vectors that capture semantic meaning, enabling similarity search and knowledge retrieval.

What is it?

Dense vector representations of text that encode semantic meaning.

Why it matters

Embeddings enable semantic search - finding content by meaning rather than keywords. They are the foundation of RAG systems.

How it works

Neural networks process text and output fixed-size vectors. Similar concepts produce vectors that are close together in vector space.

Real-World Examples

Semantic Search

Finding documents by meaning, not just keywords

Document Clustering

Grouping similar documents automatically

Recommendation Systems

Finding similar items based on embeddings
