Embedding
An embedding is a dense numeric vector that represents a piece of text, image, or other input in a high-dimensional space learned by a neural network. Items with similar meaning map to nearby points, which lets systems compare content by cosine similarity or distance instead of exact keyword matching, enabling semantic search, clustering, and recommendations.

Examples
- Encoding 10,000 product reviews so a query finds reviews discussing battery life.
- Mapping support tickets into clusters to identify recurring billing complaints.
- Comparing a resume against job descriptions by computing vector similarity scores.
