Vector Databases
Data Science, Analytics and AI/ML
A vector database is a specialized data storage system designed to store and efficiently query high-dimensional vector embeddings, which represent data like text, images, or audio as numerical representations capturing semantic meaning. Machine learning engineers and AI developers use vector databases (such as Pinecone, Weaviate, or Milvus) to power similarity search, recommendation systems, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications for large language models. They use indexing algorithms like HNSW to enable fast approximate nearest-neighbor search at scale.
