Generative AI
Vector embeddings are fundamental to modern artificial intelligence, serving as the bridge between human-understandable data and machine comprehension. They transform complex, high-dimensional data, such as text, images, or audio, into numerical representations (vectors) in a continuous vector space. In this space, items with similar meanings or characteristics are positioned closer together, while dissimilar items are further apart.
