Introduction to vector embeddings

0:00 learn about Vector embeddings which transform Rich data like words or images into numerical vectors that capture their Essence this course from anikubo will help you understand the significance of text embeddings showcase their diverse applications guide you through generating your own with open Ai and even delve into integrating vectors with databases by the end you'll be equipped to build an AI assistant using these powerful representations so let's begin hi everyone and welcome to this course all about vector embeddings by the end of this course you will be able to understand what Vector embeddings are how they are generated as well as understand why we even care about them in the first place we are going to do this thanks to visual explainers as well as some hands-on experience by building out a project that uses Vector embeddings to submit your understanding of them by the end my name is Anya Kubo and I'm a software developer and course creator on YouTube as well as on codewithanyu.com and I'm going to be your guide to this hot but slightly complex topic so before we get going let's just have a quick look at what this course will cover so first off we're going to learn what Vector embeddings are in the first place and

1:08 what they're used for after we understand that I will show you what a real Vector embedding looks like and show you how to make one yourself and after that I will delve into why companies might want to store Vector embeddings in a database as well as show you how to store Vector embeddings in your own database just as a company focused on AI word next we will take a quick look at a popular package called Lang Chen that will help us with the next part of making an AI assistant in Python and if you don't know any python don't worry I'm going to talk you through it step by step okay so a lot to learn but by the end you should be an expert in this aspect of AI development so what are we waiting for let's do it what are vector embeddings in computer science particularly in the realm of machine learning and natural language processing or NLP for short Vector embedding is a popular technique to represent information in a format that can be easily processed by algorithms especially deep learning models this information can be text pictures video and audio and much more let's look at text embeddings first so in terms of text we can create a text embedding that
