一覽

Semantic search understands intent and meaning, not just keywords. Uses embeddings (dense vectors) from LLMs to match user intent to documents. Powers modern AI search, RAG systems, and recommendation engines. Salary band: USD 130k–220k. Learn in 5–6 months. Requires machine learning background. Adjacent to NLP, embeddings, LLMs.

什麼是 Semantic Search Advanced

Semantic search is search that understands meaning and intent, not just keywords. It uses embeddings, dense vector representations created by machine learning models, to represent the meaning of documents and queries. When a user searches, their query is converted to an embedding and matched against document embeddings using vector similarity (cosine distance). The most similar documents are returned, even if they don't contain the exact query words. Semantic search powers modern recommendation engines, chatbot knowledge retrieval, and enterprise search systems. It's the backend for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), where search results inform AI-generated answers.

❓ 常見問題

What's the difference between keyword search and semantic search?
Keyword search matches exact words or phrases. Semantic search understands meaning and intent. Query 'how to fix a broken car' returns articles about car repair, not pages with exactly those words.
What are embeddings and why do they matter?
Embeddings are dense vectors (arrays of numbers) representing the meaning of text. Similar meanings have similar vectors. You can measure similarity mathematically (cosine distance). Embeddings are the foundation of semantic search.
What's the difference between embeddings and LLMs?
LLMs generate text. Embeddings represent meaning as vectors. LLMs create embeddings as a byproduct. You use embeddings in search and similarity tasks; use LLMs for generation and reasoning.
How do I evaluate semantic search quality?
Metrics: Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR), how high is the right answer ranked? NDCG (Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain), does ranking quality degrade gracefully? Human evaluation: do results feel relevant?
What's the difference between semantic search and RAG?
Semantic search retrieves relevant documents for a query. RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) uses semantic search to find documents, then feeds them to an LLM to generate an answer. Search is the retrieval part of RAG.
