Wha· a«e Ebeddlg¯?
Defll·l
Vectors representing data in high-dimensional space.
Da·a Tרe¯
Words, images, and complex data can be embedded.
Ga
Capture semantic meaning and relationships robustly.
EÖa¨e
King - Man + Woman j Queen illustrates semantic analogy.
Wh× Ebeddlg¯ Ma··e« l
Dee¨ Lea«lg
Efflcle· P«ce¯¯lg
Handle categorical data with powerful vector representations.
Sea·lc Ca¨·¼«e
Reveal and preserve relationships between data points.
Pe«f«ace B¯·
Improve model accuracy across diverse AI tasks.
C¨¼·a·la SaÐlg¯
Simplify data compared to costly one-hot encoding methods.
Purpose of Embeddings: Dimensionality Reduction
Problem Solution Example Benefits
High dimensions cause Embeddings compress Reduce 10,000 word vocab Faster training, lower
complexity and inefficiency. large vocabularies into to 300-dimensional vectors. memory, better
dense vectors. generalization.
Purpose of Embeddings:
Capturing Semantic
Information
Context Awareness
1
Capture meanings in different contexts.
Relational Info
2
Quantify similarity, relatedness, and analogies.
Example
3
<Car= is closer to <Truck,= far from <Banana.=
Visualization
4
Embeddings cluster by semantic meaning visibly.
Common Types of
Embeddings: Word
Embeddings
Word2Vec
Predicts surrounding words for context understanding.
GloVe
Uses global co-occurrence stats for word representations.
FastText
Incorporates subword n-grams for robust embeddings.
Performance
Word2Vec hits 73% accuracy on semantic tests.
Common Types of Embeddings: Beyond Words
Sentence/Document Embeddings Positional Embeddings
Aggregate textual content into a single vector. Encode word order crucial for sequences.
Applications include sentiment analysis and search. Vital for transformers in machine translation.
