What are On-Premises Embedding Models?

Embedding models, accessible via APIs, transform data such as text or images into numerical vector representations that capture semantic relationships. These vectors facilitate efficient similarity searches, clustering, and various AI-driven tasks by positioning related concepts closer together in a continuous space. By preserving contextual meaning, embedding models and embedding APIs help machines understand relationships between words, objects, or other entities. They play a crucial role in enhancing search relevance, recommendation systems, and natural language processing applications.

    GloVe

    GloVe

    Stanford NLP

    GloVe (Global Vectors for Word Representation) is an unsupervised learning algorithm developed by the Stanford NLP Group to obtain vector representations for words. It constructs word embeddings by analyzing global word-word co-occurrence statistics from a given corpus, resulting in vector spaces where the geometric relationships reflect semantic similarities and differences among words. A notable feature of GloVe is its ability to capture linear substructures within the word vector space, enabling vector arithmetic to express relationships. The model is trained on the non-zero entries of a global word-word co-occurrence matrix, which records how frequently pairs of words appear together in a corpus. This approach efficiently leverages statistical information by focusing on significant co-occurrences, leading to meaningful word representations. Pre-trained word vectors are available for various corpora, including Wikipedia 2014.

    word2vec

    word2vec

    Google

    Word2Vec is a neural network-based technique for learning word embeddings, developed by researchers at Google. It transforms words into continuous vector representations in a multi-dimensional space, capturing semantic relationships based on context. Word2Vec uses two main architectures: Skip-gram, which predicts surrounding words given a target word, and Continuous Bag-of-Words (CBOW), which predicts a target word based on surrounding words. By training on large text corpora, Word2Vec generates word embeddings where similar words are positioned closely, enabling tasks like semantic similarity, analogy solving, and text clustering. The model was influential in advancing NLP by introducing efficient training techniques such as hierarchical softmax and negative sampling. Though newer embedding models like BERT and Transformer-based methods have surpassed it in complexity and performance, Word2Vec remains a foundational method in natural language processing and machine learning research.

    Llama

    Llama

    Meta

    Llama (Large Language Model Meta AI) is a state-of-the-art foundational large language model designed to help researchers advance their work in this subfield of AI. Smaller, more performant models such as Llama enable others in the research community who don’t have access to large amounts of infrastructure to study these models, further democratizing access in this important, fast-changing field. Training smaller foundation models like Llama is desirable in the large language model space because it requires far less computing power and resources to test new approaches, validate others’ work, and explore new use cases. Foundation models train on a large set of unlabeled data, which makes them ideal for fine-tuning for a variety of tasks. We are making Llama available at several sizes (7B, 13B, 33B, and 65B parameters) and also sharing a Llama model card that details how we built the model in keeping with our approach to Responsible AI practices.
