Ideas in this flowchart

  • Embedding connects information with semantic meaning.
  • An embedding represents semantic meaning.
  • The source is a piece of information.
  • The information is converted into an embedding.
  • The embedding is represented as a numerical vector.
  • The vector provides a numerical representation of meaning.
  • Software receives vectors for comparison.
  • Software compares the vectors.
  • The comparison estimates semantic closeness.
  • Closer vectors indicate closer meaning.
  • Different words can describe similar ideas.
  • Different wording does not prevent semantic comparison.
  • The vector comparison identifies similar meanings.
  • Related knowledge can be discovered.
  • The system produces connections between related information.
