What is Embedding? After text is split into chunks, the next process is called embedding. In this step, each chunk is converted into vectors (points in vector space). In vector-based RAG systems, chunks are converted into vectors so that semantic search can be performed efficiently. Why Do We Need to Convert Chunks into Vectors? The main goal of a RAG application is to achieve semantic search. Semantic Example The w
