Embedding and retrieval models

Embedding and retrieval models are neural encoders that map text, images, audio, or video into vectors so related items sit close together, powering semantic search and RAG.

Embedding inversion

Embedding inversion is a privacy attack on machine learning systems that reconstructs original input text from its embedding vector; the Vec2Text method recovered 92% of short inputs exactly.

Embeddings and elementary maps between model-theoretic structures

In model theory, an elementary map between two structures preserves and reflects the truth of every first-order formula; every isomorphism is elementary, but elementary embeddings need not be surjective.
