Differentiating generative AI from embedding models
Embedding models encapsulate information into numerical representations (vectors), unlike generative models which create new data.
#6about 4 minutes
How vector search works by measuring distance
Vector search operates by converting a query into an embedding and finding the closest, most semantically similar items in a multidimensional space.
#7about 2 minutes
Creating a unified space for multimodal search
Different data types like text, images, and audio are processed by specific encoders and plotted into a single, unified vector space for cross-modal queries.
#8about 9 minutes
Implementing text-based image search with Weaviate
A code walkthrough demonstrates how to build a text-to-image search feature using a Next.js frontend and a Weaviate backend with a `nearText` query.
