Gain an in-depth understanding of the architecture behind embedding models; and learn how to train and use them.
Learn how to use different embedding models such as Word2Vec and BERT in various semantic search systems.
Learn how to build and train dual encoder models using contrastive loss, enhancing the accuracy of question-answer retrieval applications.
Join our new short course, Embedding Models: From Architecture to Implementation! Learn from Ofer Mendelevitch, Head of Developer Relations at Vectara.
This course goes into the details of the architecture and capabilities of embedding models, which are used in many AI applications to capture the meaning of words and sentences.
You will learn about the evolution of embedding models, from word to sentence embeddings, and build and train a simple dual encoder model. This hands-on approach will help you understand the technical concepts behind embedding models and how to use them effectively.
In detail, you’ll:
By the end of this course, you will understand word, sentence, and cross-encoder embedding models, and how transformer-based models like BERT are trained and used in semantic search. You will also learn how to train dual encoder models with contrastive loss and evaluate their impact on retrieval in a RAG pipeline.
This course is ideal for data scientists, machine learning engineers, NLP enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to learn about the creation and implementation of embedding models, which are crucial for building semantic retrieval systems. Whether you’re familiar with generative AI applications or new to the concept, if you have basic Python knowledge, this course offers a deep dive into how these models are built and capture the semantic meaning of words and sentences.
