Big Techday 25: Talk on "Finally understand embeddings – And you will never have to search for the right emoji again"

Big Techday 25: Talk „Finally understand embeddings – And you will never have to search for the right emoji again“

In this talk, our colleagues Dr. Dennis Schulz and Elias Schecke discuss embeddings, the foundation of how Large Language Models understand the world.

They cover the following key aspects:

• How to translate language into vectors in multi-dimensional space

• An overview over benchmarks and how to scale your semantic search application

• A demonstration of the theoretical concepts using an emoji search application rooted in a fine-tuned embedding base model

This talk was recorded at our Big Techday 25. You can find the full video on YouTube.

Big Techday 26 will take place on May 22nd, 2026. For more information visit the event's website.
