More significantly, after having read the first 6 or 8 paragraphs, i still have no clue what an "embedding" is. From the 3rd paragraph:
> Here’s an overview of how you use embeddings and how they work.
But no mention of what they are (unless perhaps it's buried far deeper in the article).
- kaycebasques 1y agoI was worried that introducing the formal concept too quickly would feel a bit overwhelming for my fellow technical writers who are learning about embeddings for the first time, but I know that it's also annoying when a post makes you wait too long to get an answer to a question. So I'll find a way to provide a quick answer upfront. Thanks for the feedback.
- kadushka 1y agoA word embedding is a representation of a word using many numbers, where each numbers represents some property of the word. Usually we do not know what those properties are because the numbers are learned by a model during processing of a large number of texts.
