RAG & Retrieval
Embeddings
Numerical vector representations of text that capture semantic meaning.
In depth
Numerical vector representations of text that capture semantic meaning. Similar concepts have vectors that are close together in high-dimensional space. Embeddings power semantic search, RAG systems, and recommendation engines by letting you find related content without exact keyword matches.
Example
In practice, developers reach for Embeddings when they need the capability described above as part of an AI feature or workflow.
