Embeddings

vectors encode semantic relationships for similarity search

Numerical representation technique

Why learn Embeddings?

Useful for matching meaning beyond exact keywords. Similarity scores are model-dependent and do not establish factual correctness.

Where it came from

Embedding models map inputs such as text to numerical vectors. Similarity between compatible vectors can support retrieval, clustering, and related tasks.

Build your understanding

Work through these exercises in order. Try the task before opening a reference.

Embed a small set of related and unrelated sentences.
Inspect vector dimensions and normalization.
Rank results using an appropriate similarity measure.
Evaluate retrieval with labeled relevant documents.
Rebuild or version an index when changing embedding models.
