What are Embeddings in AI?

Numerical representations that capture the meaning and relationships between words, concepts, or data points in high-dimensional space.

🤖

Definition

Embeddings are dense numerical vector representations that capture the semantic meaning and relationships of words, concepts, or data points in a high-dimensional mathematical space, enabling AI systems to work with meaning rather than just symbols.

🎯

Purpose

Embeddings enable AI models to understand semantic relationships, find similar concepts, and perform mathematical operations on meaning, making it possible to build systems that can reason about content similarity and context.

⚙️

Function

Embeddings work by training models to map similar concepts to nearby points in vector space, where mathematical operations like distance and direction correspond to semantic relationships like similarity and analogy.

🌟

Example

In word embeddings, "king" and "queen" vectors are close together, and the mathematical relationship "king - man + woman ≈ queen" captures the analogy relationship between these concepts.
