Embedding models are a type of machine learning model designed to translate complex data—whether it's text, images, or speech—into numerical vectors that machines can easily process. Imagine trying to explain a movie plot in one sentence—embedding models do something similar. They are the backbone of many AI applications, enabling tasks such as:

  • Semantic Search: Enhancing search engines by understanding the meaning behind queries.
  • Recommendation Systems: Analyzing user behavior to suggest relevant items.
  • Multilingual Content Understanding: Bridging language barriers in global communications.

Using a vector database, we can enhance our AIs with capabilities like semantic information retrieval and long-term memory.

  1. We start by using an embedding model to turn the content we want to store into vector embeddings, which are like unique fingerprints for the data.
  2. These vector embeddings are saved in the vector database, along with links to the original content.
  3. When a query is made, the same embedding model creates a vector for the query. This vector is then used to search the database for similar vectors, which point back to the original content that matches the query.

Unlocking the Vault: Meet the Embedding Models That Do More Than You Think

Let’s explore some of the hidden gems in our model library, each with unique properties that can provide significant advantages in your AI endeavors.

Technical Characteristics Explained

  • Dimensions: The number of dimensions in the embedding vector directly impacts the model's ability to capture semantic nuances. Higher dimensions generally allow for more detailed representations.
  • Architecture: Most models utilize a Transformer-based architecture, known for its efficiency in processing sequential data and capturing contextual relationships between words.
  • Training Data: The diversity and size of the training data influence a model's performance across different applications. Models trained on extensive and varied datasets tend to generalize better.

Embedding models: Part 1 by Google

Most of the models have transformer-based architecture. It means that they are equipped with both an encoder and a decoder, allowing them to generate output sequences. Such models are typically trained in an autoregressive manner, generating text one token at a time.

The Polyglot Gem

Text-multilingual-embedding-002 model is your go-to for cross-lingual information retrieval and content recommendation. It seamlessly handles multiple languages, making it ideal for businesses looking to expand their global reach.
