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.
