Imagine you have three favorite colors: "red," "blue," and "green." We want to represent each color with a special "magic number" (vector) that tells us something unique about the color.

Vector embeddings are like magic codes that help us understand and compare different items in a way that computers can work with. It's like giving each color its own secret power!

Euclidean distance is a concept that dates back to the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. He introduced the idea of measuring the straight-line distance between two points in space.

Formula: The Euclidean distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in a two-dimensional space is calculated using this formula:

Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

This formula helps us find the length of the shortest path between two points, as if you draw a straight line connecting them.

Euclidean distance is widely used in various fields, such as mathematics, physics, and computer science, to measure distances, compare objects, and make decisions based on proximity. It's a fundamental concept that has been helping people solve problems for centuries!
