Introduction to Embeddings in Large Language Models

BERT

BERT, or Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers, is a powerful embedding model that has revolutionized natural language processing. Unlike previous models such as Word2Vec and GloVe, BERT is a contextualized model, meaning that it takes into account the entire sentence or document when generating embeddings for each word. This allows BERT to capture nuances in language that previous models could not.

Transformer Architecture

BERT uses a transformer architecture, which is a type of neural network that is particularly good at handling sequential data such as text. The model is pre-trained on massive amounts of text data, which allows it to generate high-quality embeddings for a wide variety of natural language tasks.

Key Features

  • Ability to perform well on tasks that require understanding of the context of a word or phrase
  • Ability to generate embeddings for entire sentences or paragraphs, rather than just individual words

Overall, BERT is a highly effective embedding model that has significantly advanced the field of natural language processing. Its ability to generate contextualized embeddings has led to improvements in a wide variety of tasks and applications.
