In the world of artificial intelligence (AI), data is the main ingredient. But just like raw ingredients need preparation before they become a delicious meal, data must be transformed into a palatable format for AI systems, particularly large language models (LLMs), to "digest." This is where embeddings enter the kitchen, serving as the secret sauce...
