beágyazottságot

Beágyazottságot, often translated as embedding, is a concept used in various fields, including linguistics, computer science, and machine learning. In essence, it refers to the representation of discrete items, such as words, sentences, or even entire documents, as dense, low-dimensional vectors in a continuous vector space. These vectors capture semantic relationships between the items they represent. Items that are similar in meaning or context will have vectors that are closer to each other in this space.

The process of creating embeddings typically involves training a model on a large corpus of data. For instance, in natural language processing, word embeddings are generated by analyzing how words appear in relation to each other. Common algorithms like Word2Vec, GloVe, and FastText learn these vector representations by predicting context words or the target word based on its context.

The utility of embeddings lies in their ability to transform qualitative data into a quantitative format that can be easily processed by machine learning algorithms. This allows for tasks such as similarity comparisons, classification, clustering, and information retrieval. For example, finding synonyms for a word can be achieved by locating vectors that are close to the target word's vector. Embeddings have become a cornerstone of modern NLP and are increasingly applied in other domains where discrete entities need to be represented in a way that reflects their inherent relationships.
