Embedding Space
Noun · AI & Machine Learning
Definitions
A high-dimensional vector space where items (words, images, documents) are represented as points such that similar items are close together. Enables semantic search, recommendation, and clustering by measuring distances between embeddings.
In plain English: A mathematical space where similar things are placed near each other, allowing computers to understand meaning through distance.
Example: "In the embedding space, 'king' minus 'man' plus 'woman' lands near 'queen' — the model captured semantic relationships."
