What you'll learn

What are "Wormhole Vectors"?

Learn how wormhole vectors work & how to use them to traverse between disparate vector spaces for better hybrid search.

Building a behavioral vector space from click stream data

Learn to generate behavioral embeddings to be integrated with dense/semantic and sparse/lexical vector queries.

Traverse lexical, semantic, & behavioral vectors spaces

Jump back and forth between multiple dense and sparse vector spaces in the same query

Advanced hybrid search techniques (beyond fusion algorithms)

Hybrid search is more than mixing lexical + semantic search. See advanced techniques and where wormhole vectors fit in.

Why this topic matters

"Wormhole Vectors" are an experimental approach for hybrid search that enables traversal across disparate vector spaces (lexical, semantic, behavioral, etc.), rather than merging separate sparse/lexical and dense/semantic search results using a fusion algorithm. Learn how to construct wormhole vectors to jump between separate indexes and how this new technique could be the future of hybrid search.
