Neural Search - From Prototype to Production with Jina
By :

This chapter described the method of vector representation, which is a major step in the operation of search engines.
First, we introduced the importance of vector representation and how to use it, and then addressed local and distributed vector representation algorithms. In terms of distributed vector representation, the commonly used representation algorithms for text, images, and audio were covered, and common representation methods for other modalities and multimodality were summarized. Hence, we found that the dense vector representation method often entails relatively rich contextual information when compared with sparse vectors.
When building a scalable neural search system, it is important to create an encoder that can encode raw documents into high-quality embeddings. This encoding process needs to be performed fast to reduce the indexing time. At search time, it is critical to apply the same encoding process and find the top-ranked documents in a reasonable...
