Gen AI Concepts: Tokenization, Context Windows, and Embeddings Explained

This article explains fundamental concepts in generative AI, focusing on tokenization, context windows, and embeddings. Tokenization breaks down text into manageable units for AI models, with subword tokenization like Byte-Pair Encoding being a common method. The context window defines how much text an AI can process simultaneously, impacting its ability to maintain coherence in longer interactions. Embeddings represent words and sentences as numerical vectors, enabling AI to grasp semantic relationships and improve tasks like search and recommendation. AI

IMPACT Provides foundational knowledge for understanding how generative AI models process and interpret language.
