Embedding Capabilities
Learn how to use the embedding capabilities provided by OpenAI.
We'll cover the following...
In our previous lessons, we’ve explored text generation, conversations, images, audio, and tools. Now, we’re exploring one of OpenAI’s most powerful yet underrated capabilities: embeddings. This lesson will teach you how to convert text into mathematical representations that capture meaning, enabling sophisticated search, recommendation, and analysis capabilities.
By the end of this lesson, you’ll understand how to build intelligent search systems, recommendation engines, and content analysis tools that understand semantic meaning rather than just keywords.
What are embeddings and why do they matter?
Think of embeddings as a universal translator that converts human language into numbers that computers can understand and compare. But these aren’t just any numbers; they’re specially crafted to preserve meaning and relationships between concepts.
Words and phrases with similar meanings get similar numbers. This allows AI to understand that “car” and “automobile” are related or that “happy” and “joyful” express similar emotions, even though they share no letters in common.
Instead of searching for exact keyword matches, you can build systems that ...
