Embeddings

With a vector database, we can add advanced features to our AIs, like semantic information retrieval, long-term memory, and more. The diagram below gives us a better understanding of the role of vector databases in this type of application:

Embeddings are generated by AI models (such as Large Language Models) and have many attributes or features, making their representation challenging to manage. In the context of AI and machine learning, these features represent different dimensions of the data that are essential for understanding patterns, relationships, and underlying structures.

Steps: 

  1. First, we use the embedding model to create vector embeddings for the content we want to index.
  2. The vector embedding is inserted into the vector database, with some reference to the original content the embedding was created from.
  3. When the application issues a query, we use the same embedding model to create embeddings for the query and use those embeddings to query the database for similar vector embeddings. As mentioned before, those similar embeddings are associated with the original content that was used to create them.

How are vector databases used?

  Vector Databases Usage: Typically used for vector search use cases such as visual, semantic, and multimodal search. More recently, they are paired with generative AI text models for conversational search experiences. Development Process: Begins with building an embedding model designed to encode a corpus (e.g., product images) into vectors. The data import process is referred to as data hydration. Application Development: Application developers utilize the database to search for similar products. This involves encoding a product image and using the vector to query for similar images. k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) Indexes: Within the model, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) indexes facilitate efficient retrieval of vectors. A distance function like cosine is applied to rank results by similarity.

Feature Engineering - What and Why

Feature engineering is a crucial step in the machine learning pipeline where you create new, meaningful features or transform existing features to improve the performance of your predictive models. It involves selecting, modifying, or creating features from your raw data to make it more suitable for machine learning algorithms. Here's a more detailed overview of feature engineering: Why Feature Engineering? Feature engineering is essential for several reasons: Improving Model Performance: Well-engineered features can significantly boost the predictive power of your machine learning models. Handling Raw Data: Raw data often contains noise, missing values, and irrelevant information. Feature engineering helps in cleaning and preparing the data for analysis. Capturing Domain Knowledge: Domain-specific insights can be incorporated into feature creation to make the model more representative of the problem. Common Techniques and Strategies: 1. Feature Extraction: Transforming raw data
