Vectors can be depicted graphically in two or three dimensions. The magnitude of the vector is shown as the length of a line segment. The direction of the vector is shown by the orientation of the line segment and by an arrowhead at one end. When creating images invector graphics, the gra...
“What is a vector image! I don’t know what this is. Do I have one of those? Do I need one?” If you have ever had any graphic design done, you have probably been exposed to the term vector graphic and had these kinds of questions. Don’t worry, this is a good thing. Let’...
What if you have a 1-Dimensional vector? How would you represent the one component of this vector? If it was "up" it would be a positive component and "down" would be a negative. The point is that Khan is saying that 1D vectors are very different than a scalar. That isn't true....
How machine-learning experts define vectors, how they are visualized, and how vector technology improves website search results and recommendations.
One often overlooked attack vector is your third and fourth-party vendors and service providers. It doesn't matter how sophisticated your internal network security and information security policies are — if vendors have access to sensitive data, they are a huge risk to your organization. This is...
While Inkscape is a great, free option for most users looking to create vector images, there are alternatives you should certainly consider. One of the biggest is Adobe Illustrator, which is a professional, industry-standard graphic design tool for vector images. It requires a paidAdobe Creative...
After generating and storing your embeddings, the next step is to decide how to compare them. Similarity metrics quantify how close or relevant one vector is to another. The right metric depends on your use case and the characteristics of your data. Some common options include: ...
A vector database stores, manages and indexes high-dimensional vector data to be stored as arrays of numbers called “vectors,” clustered based on similarity.
An initialization vector (IV) is an arbitrary number that can be used with a secret key for dataencryptionto foil cyberattacks. This number, also called anonce(number used once), is employed only one time in any session to prevent unauthorized decryption of the message by a suspicious or ma...
This blog offers an introduction to vector search and some of the technology behind it such as vector embeddings and neural networks.
