Embedding

Also known as: embeddings, vector

In one line

A list of numbers that represents the meaning of a piece of text.

What does Embedding mean?

Embeddings turn words, sentences, or documents into high-dimensional vectors. Similar meanings land close together, enabling semantic search, clustering, and recommendation.

A real-world example

The embedding for "car" is very close to "vehicle" and far from "banana".
