Unlocking the Power of AI: Understanding Embeddings and Semantic Similarity in LLMs
Have you ever wondered how AI systems can generate everything from poetry to code, all based on a simple text prompt? The key lies in embeddings—a fascinating concept that enables large language models (LLMs) to grasp the nuances of meaning in language. In our latest article, we delve deep into how embeddings leverage semantic similarity to transform the way AI understands and interacts with text.
Consider the difference between open-ended and closed-ended models. While closed-ended models might only choose between a limited set of answers—like distinguishing between dogs and cats—open-ended models can generate a myriad of responses based on context and meaning. This flexibility is what makes embeddings so powerful; they allow models to go beyond mere word overlap and tap into the essence of language.
To illustrate this, we explore methods like word overlap, where sentences can share common words yet convey entirely different meanings. For instance, while “My dog loves to eat” and “My grandma loves to eat cake” may share several words, their meanings diverge significantly. However, sentences about dogs can have a lower overlap yet remain semantically related.
