Embeddings

Embeddings are dense vector representations of text, images, or other data that capture semantic meaning. They're the foundation of semantic search and RAG applications.

Key Concepts

  • Text embeddings (text-embedding-ada-002, e5, bge)
  • Image embeddings (CLIP, ResNet)
  • Dimensionality reduction
  • Similarity computation
  • Batch processing

Common Use Cases

  • Semantic search
  • Text classification
  • Clustering
  • Duplicate detection
  • RAG systems

Best Practices

  • Choose model based on use case
  • Normalize vectors for cosine similarity
  • Handle long texts with chunking
  • Cache embeddings when possible
  • Monitor embedding drift

Resources

  • OpenAI Embeddings, Hugging Face, Cohere
  • Related Skills: vector-databases, nlp, machine-learning
