Embedding

埋め込み表現(うめこみひょうげん)

IntermediateModels & Architecture

A numerical representation of data (text, images, etc.) as a list of numbers that captures its meaning, enabling AI to compare and search similar items.

Why It Matters

Embeddings power semantic search, recommendation systems, and RAG — they're how AI understands meaning.

Example in Practice

A search engine that finds articles about 'dogs' even when you search for 'puppies' because their embeddings are similar.
