embedding
An embedding is a numerical representation of data such as text or images, used for similarity comparisons and AI search.
An embedding is a vector, or array of numbers, representing features of text, images or other data; the term also refers to creating that representation. Embeddings produced by trained models support similarity comparisons in AI search, recommendation and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Unlike exact keyword matching, they can be used to compare semantic relationships.
