Vector Representations
Definition
The array of numbers resulting from the embedding process. It allows semantic relationships to be calculated using basic linear algebra.
Explain Like I'm New
The actual list of numbers that represents a word. For example, the vector for 'Cat' might be `[0.42, -0.88, 0.12, 0.99]`. You can add and subtract these lists of numbers to do word-math.
Real World Example
The famous Word2Vec math equation: `Vector('King') - Vector('Man') + Vector('Woman') = Vector('Queen')`. By adding and subtracting the GPS coordinates of the concepts, the AI perfectly calculates the gender-flipped royal title.
