Understanding Vector Search and Embeddings
Vector search involves using high-dimensional representations of data to facilitate advanced searches in databases. Vectors are generated by sending data, such as text or images, through an embedding model, resulting in a numerical representation that encodes the data's underlying meaning. This allows the comparison of different pieces of data based on their vector representations, indicating how similar two pieces of information are to each other. The power of vectors lies in their ability to encapsulate complex data into structured formats, enabling sophisticated search capabilities across large datasets.
