About this episode
How can you tell if two images are similar? What about two videos, or two podcast episodes? Finding similar items in a data set is the foundation of Search, Recommendations, Spam Fighting, and many other areas of machine learning. To do this, we need some examples of images that are similar & not similar (called labels), and a method that can learn patterns from these examples (called a model). Today we have Edo Liberty, CEO of Pinecone, on the show to dive into how embeddings are trained and how to quickly find the similar groups of items from millions (even billions!) of examples.
