# Embeddings

***

An embedding is a vector (list) of floating point numbers. The distance between two vectors measures their relatedness. Small distances suggest high relatedness and large distances suggest low relatedness.

Embeddings can be used to create a numerical representation of textual data. This numerical representation is useful because it can be used to find similar documents.

They are commonly used for:

* Search (where results are ranked by relevance to a query string)
* Clustering (where text strings are grouped by similarity)
* Recommendations (where items with related text strings are recommended)
* Anomaly detection (where outliers with little relatedness are identified)
* Diversity measurement (where similarity distributions are analyzed)
* Classification (where text strings are classified by their most similar label)

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.flowiseai.com/integrations/langchain/embeddings.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
