Abstract: 

Embeddings are numerical representations of concepts converted to number sequences, which make it easy for computers to understand the relationships between those concepts. This talk will focus on introducing embeddings that is useful to perform natural language and code tasks like semantic search, clustering, topic modeling, and classification. Our embeddings available in the OpenAI API and outperform top models in 3 standard benchmarks, including a 20% relative improvement in code search.
