Embeddings
Numbers that represent meaning, so computers can compare ideas.
An embedding is a list of numbers produced by a model that captures a text's semantic content: similar meanings land close together in that number space. Embeddings power semantic search, RAG retrieval, recommendation and clustering. They are how 'paperwork' matches 'document processing' even though no words overlap.
Example from practice
Your knowledge assistant matches 'can I take leave for my wedding?' to the 'special leave' policy because their embeddings are neighbors, with no keyword in common.
