Embeddings play a key role in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML). Text embedding refers to the process of transforming text into numerical representations that reside in a high-dimensional vector space. This technique is achieved through the use of ML algorithms that enable the understanding of the meaning and context of data (semantic relationships) and the learning of complex relationships and patterns within the data (syntactic relationships).

They didn’t even have the known genetic mutations that can set people on the course for such early-onset Alzheimer’s.
