Embeddings convert words, images, or other data into lists of numbers that AI can process and compare.
AI can't work with words directly - it needs numbers. Embeddings turn "cat" into something like [0.2, -0.8, 1.1, ...]. Similar concepts get similar numbers.
Words with similar meanings cluster together in this number space. "Dog" and "puppy" have similar embeddings, while "dog" and "airplane" don't.
Embeddings let AI understand relationships between concepts. Search engines use them to find relevant results. Recommendation systems use them to suggest similar items.
They're the foundation for how AI processes language and makes connections between ideas.
