The real MVPs are the commenters that watched the video and told us that a Vector Database isn't actually explained here. Saved me 8 minutes.

While the title says "What is a Vector Database?", the video has no content describing what a vector database actually is (e.g. how is the data stored and accessed, what embeddings are, etc.), and no details of how vector databases differ from the others (e.g. no explanation of where/when/how a vector database is more performant and/or scalable than others). Obviously, detailing these would make a much longer video, and make it a much more useful one.

Good points. This could be a catalyst for IBM Tech to create a small series about vector databases and answer these points you have raised above.

Precisely. And because of that I just wasted 4 minutes unnecessarily (fast forwarding helped :). Clickbait title, not worthy of IBM's brand.

Yep that felt like more like a clickbait video.

Yeah he said its an array and then moved onto embeddings!1

After watching 8 mins and 11 secs, there's still 1 question remans, "What is a Vector Database"?

NLP, videos and image recognition, and search silly

A vector database is a specialized database designed to store and query high-dimensional vectors, which are often used in machine learning and data science. These vectors represent data points in a multi-dimensional space, allowing for efficient similarity searches, nearest neighbor searches, and other operations critical to applications like recommendation systems, image retrieval, and natural language processing. By organizing data in this way, vector databases can perform complex operations quickly and accurately, making them essential for handling large-scale, unstructured data. Examples include Pinecone, Milvus, and FAISS, which are tailored to manage the specific needs of high-dimensional vector data.

Very good question. No answer given.

I feel like I got clickbaited, no detail about vector databases.

Planetscale did an awesome job detailing what a Vector is and an embedding in great detail with great illustrations

So, what is a vector database, then?

@boringmanager9559 9 ай бұрын

I have an array stored in sql schema. How is this implemented? what's the difference?

@JustAThought01 9 ай бұрын

Good overview of Large Language Model (LLM) concepts. Take away: vector is a powerful way to store information for high function computer processing.

Loved the video. And now I'm hoping for longer and more detailed one! :)

Is he writing in opposite symmetry?

@Matthew-lh3zy 9 ай бұрын

I was wondering about this as well. My guess: they flip the whole video horizontally . You'll note that there's nothing in the background that would indicate if left/right was reversed

It's called a light board (learning glass). The video is recorded through a glass and mirrored.

thanks for the clarification from both of you! now I finally can focus on the content of the video again... 😂

Great video. Super easy to follow. Love it.

@markkithinji2666 7 ай бұрын

so... a vector is an array and an embedding is a multidimension?

@roman9788 5 ай бұрын

Embedding is the process of making a vector from your data. But often vector and embedding is used synonymously.

How to make such a video where they write and it comes correctly?? Clearly they are not behind a glass

@joaopaulolibanomonteiro312 26 күн бұрын

He is behind a glass, they invert the video. Notice how he's writing with his left hand

@dsk7216 8 ай бұрын

but how is he writting backwards from right to left,, i felt like tenet LOl . from his perspective its always right to left in the video

@moanbekele7945 4 ай бұрын

They probably invert it back

*Good theoretical video* except there was no sample tool, sample query or sample response in the video at all. Just like supervised learning, humans also understand fast and deep, when there are some real world examples of vector-queries and vector-response examples from one or few real world tools.
