The hottest Embeddings Substack posts right now

The post discusses using an IKEA-diagrams LoRa of SDXL for fun, generating impossible things like 'happiness' and 'poetry.'
The diagrams in the post show steps to make a robot, angel, and golem, each with unique and interesting instructions.
The post also touches on AI tools for code and reinforcement learning from an AI perspective.

Multi-modal AI integrates multiple types of data in the same training process, allowing models to represent data in a common n-dimensional space.
Multi-modality adds an extra dimension to data, expanding the search space exponentially, enabling more diverse and powerful AI applications.
While multi-modality enhances model performance, it does not solve fundamental issues with AI models like GPT, and simpler technologies may be more effective for certain use-cases.

Vector similarity search is essential for recommendation systems, image search, and natural language processing.
Vector search involves finding similar vectors to a query vector using distance metrics like L1, L2, and cosine similarity.
Common vector search strategies include linear search, space partitioning, quantization, and hierarchical navigable small worlds.

Consider using lighter embedding models before heavier ones.
If you are using a large model like Instructor XL, then consider trying OpenAI's embeddings for blind comparison.
Be cautious using OpenAI's embeddings due to internet dependency and potential future changes.

The concept of 'embedding' in machine learning has evolved and become widely used, replacing terms like vectors and representations.
Embeddings can be applied to various types of data, come from different layers in a neural network, and are not always about reducing dimensions.
Defining 'embedding' has become challenging due to its widespread use, but the essence is about learned transformations that make data more useful.

Synthetic data can be used to create high-quality text embeddings without needing human-labeled data. This means you can generate lots of useful training data more easily.
This study shows that it's possible to create diverse synthetic data by applying different techniques to various language and task categories. This helps improve the quality of text understanding across many languages.
Using large language models like GPT-4 for generating synthetic data can save time and effort. However, it’s also important to understand the limitations and ensure data quality for the best results.
