Introduction to Vector Databases

Vector databases are specialized systems designed to handle high-dimensional vector data,

commonly used in machine learning and AI applications. They enable efficient similarity searches,

making them essential for recommendation systems, semantic search, and other AI-driven tasks.

How Vector Databases Work

1. Vector Representation: Data is converted into embedding vectors using AI models, which

represent complex information numerically. For instance, text data can be encoded using models

like BERT, and images can be converted using models like ResNet.

2. Indexing: Vector databases use indexing algorithms like KD-trees or HNSW to structure data for

efficient similarity searches.

3. Search Mechanism: To find similar vectors, metrics like cosine similarity or Euclidean distance are

calculated between query vectors and stored vectors.

Real-Life Example: Personalized E-Commerce Recommendations

When a customer browses an online store, their actions are converted into embedding vectors.

These vectors are matched against product vectors in the database to recommend items based on

the customer's preferences in real-time.

Key Features
