Vector Space Representation

Vector space representation is a way of turning complex data—like words, images, or documents—into numerical form that computers can process. Imagine each item as a point in a multi-dimensional space, where each dimension captures a specific feature or characteristic. By representing data as vectors (coordinates in this space), we can measure similarities, perform mathematical operations, and analyze relationships easily. This approach helps computers understand, compare, and work with diverse types of information efficiently, forming the basis for tasks like search engines, recommendation systems, and language understanding.
