- 4. Introduction Search technology is at the core of modern digital experiences. From e-commerce to healthcare, the ability to retrieve relevant information quickly & accurately is crucial. Today, we’ll show you how vector search takes this to the next level, providing more relevant results & a better user experience.
- 5. What will we cover today? ● Theory ● Live Demo ● Trivia
- 6. What is Vector Search? Vector search is a method of searching through data by representing items as vectors in a high-dimensional space. Vector Search vs Traditional Search ● Traditional search relies on exact keyword matching & often misses relevant results. ● Vector search, captures the context & meaning, providing more accurate & relevant results, vector search uses mathematical models to understand the semantic meaning of data. Vector Search vs Traditional Search ● Improved Relevance: Finds contextually similar items even if exact keywords aren’t present. ● Enhanced User Experience: Delivers more intuitive & satisfying search results. ● Scalability: Efficiently handles large-scale data across various industries.
- 7. Real-World Applications E-commerce Use Case: Product Recommendations Online retailers use vector search to provide personalized product recommendations. By understanding the semantic meaning behind user queries & behavior, vector search can suggest items that are more likely to interest customers, leading to increased sales & customer satisfaction. Health Care Use Case: Medical Research In the healthcare industry, vector search helps researchers find relevant studies & information quickly. It can identify related medical cases, research papers, & treatment options by understanding the context of medical queries, thereby accelerating the research process & improving patient outcomes. Finance Use Case: Fraud Detection Financial institutions utilize vector search to detect fraudulent activities. By analyzing transaction patterns & contextual data, vector search can identify anomalies & potential frauds more effectively than traditional methods, enhancing security & reducing financial losses.
- 8. What is Vectorization? Vectorization involves transforming data into a fixed-size numerical vector. Each vector represents the data in a high-dimensional space, capturing its key features & relationships. The goal of vectorization is to create a mathematical representation of data that preserves its semantic meaning & can be efficiently processed by machine learning models & search algorithms.
- 9. Process of Vectorization Steps 1. Data Preprocessing: Clean & normalize the data to ensure consistency. 2. Feature Extraction: Identify & extract relevant features from the data. 3. Encoding: Use encoders to transform the data into vectors. 4. Normalization: Normalize vectors to ensure uniformity in the vector space. Applications of Vectorization Vectorization is used in various applications such as text analysis, image recognition, & recommendation systems. It allows for efficient & accurate processing of large datasets.
- 10. What are Encoders? Encoders are algorithms or models that convert data into a numerical format, typically vectors, that can be processed by machine learning algorithms. Types of Encoders ● One-hot Encoding: Converts categorical data into binary vectors. ● Word Embeddings: Word2Vec, GloVe - convert words into continuous vectors that capture semantic relationships. ● Advanced Models: BERT, Transformer-based models - provide context-aware embeddings for more complex tasks.
- 11. Why Vector Search? ● Improved Relevance & Accuracy By understanding the context & semantic meaning of data, vector search provides highly relevant & accurate results. This means fewer missed opportunities & more precise information retrieval. ● Enhanced User Experience Vector search delivers more intuitive & satisfying search results. Users can find what they’re looking for faster & more efficiently, leading to higher satisfaction & engagement. ● Scalability Vector search can handle large-scale data with ease. It’s designed to efficiently process & retrieve information from vast datasets, making it ideal for industries with massive amounts of data.
- 12. When to Use Vector Search? ● Complex Queries When your application needs to handle complex, multi-faceted queries where context & semantics are crucial, vector search excels. It’s ideal for use cases like recommendation systems & personalized search results. ● Large Datasets Vector search is particularly effective when dealing with large datasets where traditional keyword search may struggle to maintain accuracy & relevance. It scales efficiently to provide robust search capabilities. ● Contextual Search Requirements If your application requires understanding the context of user queries—such as semantic search or question-answering systems—vector search can provide significantly better results than traditional methods.
- 13. What are Vector Search limitations? ● Computational Resources Vector search can be computationally intensive, requiring adequate resources to perform efficiently. Ensure your infrastructure can support the necessary processing power. ● Data Preparation Preparing data for vector search can be time-consuming, as it involves creating meaningful vector representations of your data. This step is crucial for achieving accurate results. ● Implementation Complexity Implementing vector search may be more complex than traditional search methods. It often requires expertise in machine learning & vectorization techniques.
- 14. Why is Vector Search a hot topic today? Vector search enhances the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) by providing more contextually relevant & semantically meaningful search results. ● Improved Contextual Understanding ○ LLMs like GPT-4 generate & understand text based on the context provided. Vector search improves this process by enabling the model to retrieve information that is contextually similar to the input query, even if the exact keywords are not used. ○ For instance, if an LLM is tasked with generating content on 'climate change mitigation,' vector search can help retrieve articles & papers on related topics such as renewable energy, carbon footprint reduction, & sustainable practices. ● Enhanced Semantic Search ○ Finds results that match the meaning & intent behind the query rather than just keyword matches. This leads to more accurate & relevant information retrieval. ● Greater Efficiency in Large Datasets ○ Vector search is highly efficient in processing & retrieving information from large datasets. This scalability ensures that LLMs can quickly access vast amounts of data, improving their performance in real-time applications. ○ In a scenario where an LLM is used for customer support, vector search can swiftly sift through extensive knowledge bases to find the most relevant information, enhancing response accuracy & speed.
