Enter, the vector

Mentions of vector embedding and vector databases sometimes pop up in discussions about deep learning and LLM data retrieval. In layman’s terms, vector embedding takes many formats of information such as text, images, and video, and translates them to a ones and zeros format (on steroids). This helps with making comparisons and computations from said data.
