What is a Vector Database? A vector database is an organized collection of vector embeddings that can be created, read, updated, and deleted at any point in time. Vector embeddings represent chunks of data, suc
A vector database is a data storage system that organises information in the form of vectors, which are mathematical representations. These databases are designed to store, index, and query vector embeddings or numerical representations of unstructured data, including text documents, multimedia content...
Another hallmark of a vector database is its ability to accommodate especially large datasets, including time-series data. Its ability to store data isn’t limited; in fact, its tables can have an infinite number of columns. Advantages of vector databases ...
Vector database containing image embeddings A vector embedding is a sequence of numbers like [0.4, 0.8, -0.1, 0.6, 1.1, ...] that captures the original meaning of a data point (a sentence, an image, an audio signal, etc.) in relation to other points. Think of each number in the se...
Example: Using vector embeddings One of the challenges with vector embeddings is that they can represent almost any kind of data. If you look at most data types used in computer science/programming languages, they all represent a finite form of data. Chars were designed to represent characters,...
In this blog, we provide a comprehensive understanding of vector databases, including what they are, how they work, types, use cases, examples, and more.
Think of each data point as a ruler. Binary quantization splits this ruler in half at a certain point, marking everything above as "1" and everything below as "0". This binarization process results in a string of bits, representing the original vector. This "quantized" code is much smal...
Categorical variables are embedded into continuous vector spaces before being fed to the DNN via learned or user-determined embeddings. What makes this model so successful for recommendation tasks is that it provides two avenues of learning patterns in the data, “deep” and “shallow”. The ...
R programming language is very unique and it's one of its kind, it gives you the feature of being a vector language too. R is a statistical language mainly used in the biology sector or genetics. It provides support for Robust Visual Library, and with R you can even develop Web Apps....
A vector is a quantity or phenomenon that has two independent properties: magnitude and direction. The term also denotes the mathematical or geometrical representation of such a quantity. Examples of vectors in nature arevelocity, momentum, force,electromagnetic fieldsand weight. A quantity or phenomen...
