Ideas in this flowchart
- Embeddings represent semantic meaning and enable the discovery of related knowledge.
- An embedding represents semantic meaning as a numerical vector.
- Software compares numerical vectors.
- Vector comparison estimates which pieces of information are closest in meaning.
- Related knowledge can be discovered through semantic similarity.
- This works even when different words describe similar ideas.
