This article, the second in a series on similarity joins, explores the limitations of using single text embeddings for entity representation in databases. It argues that entities can be similar in multiple ways, and relying on a single embedding vector misses nuances. The author proposes using multiple representations for each entity, drawing parallels to political representation and film recommendations, to achieve a more comprehensive understanding and enable more robust similarity searches.
