Vector Embeddings

Vector embeddings represent data points, such as words, sentences, or even entire documents, as numerical vectors in a high-dimensional space, aiming to capture semantic relationships and facilitate efficient information retrieval and analysis. Current research focuses on improving embedding quality through techniques like contrastive learning, mixture-of-experts models, and leveraging large language models, as well as optimizing their use in diverse applications including multimodal learning, database search, and material science prediction. The ability to generate high-fidelity, compact embeddings is crucial for various fields, enabling advancements in tasks ranging from improved search algorithms and efficient data management to enhanced natural language processing and the development of more effective machine learning models.
