Azure Cosmos DB Shorts: What are embeddings?
In this quick and informative video, Mark Brown, Microsoft Principal PM Manager for Azure Cosmos DB, explains embeddings—the mathematical representations that capture the meaning of words, images, and documents as vectors in multi-dimensional space. You'll learn: • How embeddings work and why they are essential for applications like ChatGPT, recommendation engines, and image search • How objects with similar characteristics are placed close to each other in vector space • The role of embeddings in vector search and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications Want to dive deeper?
