🧠 AI Word of the Day: "Embeddings"

Embeddings are numerical representations of data (like words, sentences, or images) that capture their meaning, context, and relationships in a format AI can understand—usually as a vector in a high-dimensional space.

Example:
Text search using embeddings:
You type “healthy snacks,” and the AI finds articles with “low-calorie foods” even if those exact words weren’t used. That’s semantic search—powered by embeddings 🔍
