Vectorization is the process of converting textual data into numerical representations (vectors) for efficient processing by machine learning models.
In the world of Generative AI, models like GPT-4 and LLaMA rely on vectorization to answer domain-specific questions and retrieve information from external sources.
Vectorization enables fast retrieval and similarity matching, allowing AI models to search and generate responses based on augmented knowledge bases.
Traditional methods of string matching are limited, necessitating the use of transformer-based embeddings for effective text search and comparison.
