Ideas in this flowchart

  • Embedding-based semantic comparison
  • An embedding represents semantic meaning
  • The meaning is represented as a numerical vector
  • Software can compare vectors
  • Vector comparison estimates semantic closeness
  • The comparison involves pieces of information
  • The pieces of information are represented by vectors
  • Software identifies which vectors are closest
  • Closeness is measured by meaning
  • This makes related knowledge discoverable
  • Related knowledge can use different words
  • Different words can describe similar ideas
  • Word differences do not prevent semantic comparison
  • Similar ideas can be recognized across different descriptions
  • Semantic embeddings reveal related knowledge despite wording differences

"An embedding represents semantic meaning as a numerical vector. Software can compare vectors to estimate which pieces of information are closest in meaning. This makes it possible to discover related knowledge even when different words are used to describe similar ideas."
