Embedders
Embedders in Haystack transform texts or Documents into vector representations using pre-trained models. You can then use the embeddings in your pipeline for tasks like question answering, information retrieval, and more.
The embeddings produced by Haystack embedders are fixed-length vectors. They capture contextual information and semantic relationships within the text. The primary goal of embeddings is to transform text into a format the language model can understand and process in a more nuanced and contextually aware way.
These are the Embedders available in Haystack:
