Results for "vector search"

13 results

Beam Search Intermediate

Search algorithm for generation that keeps top-k partial sequences; can improve likelihood but reduce diversity.

Foundations & Theory
Vector Database Intermediate

A datastore optimized for similarity search over embeddings, enabling semantic retrieval at scale.

Large Language Models
Embedding Intermediate

A continuous vector encoding of an item (word, image, user) such that semantic similarity corresponds to geometric closeness.

Machine Learning
RAG Intermediate

Architecture that retrieves relevant documents (e.g., from a vector DB) and conditions generation on them to reduce hallucinations.

Foundations & Theory
Memory Intermediate

Mechanisms for retaining context across turns/sessions: scratchpads, vector memories, structured stores.

Foundations & Theory
Linear Algebra Advanced

Mathematical foundation for ML involving vector spaces, matrices, and linear transformations.

Mathematics
Eigenvector Advanced

Vector whose direction remains unchanged under linear transformation.

Mathematics
Norm Advanced

Measure of vector magnitude; used in regularization and optimization.

Mathematics
Jacobian Advanced

Matrix of first-order derivatives for vector-valued functions.

Mathematics
Semantic Search Intermediate

Retrieval based on embedding similarity rather than keyword overlap, capturing paraphrases and related concepts.

Foundations & Theory
Line Search Intermediate

Choosing step size along gradient direction.

Foundations & Theory
Policy Search Advanced

Directly optimizing control policies.

Reinforcement Learning
Vector Space Advanced

Set of vectors closed under addition and scalar multiplication.
