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
