AI for Data: Vector search in Oracle Database 23ai

A key AI feature introduced in Oracle database 23ai is the vector search. A vector is an array of numbers that represent the semantic content of data, instead of the words, pixels in the images. Vectors allow us to do the similarity search of the data based on the semantic contents. In this session, we will take a look at the vector search feature in Oracle 23ai database: how to store vector data in the database and how to do the similarity search using vector_distance function in a simple select query. We also will discuss how the vector search improves Generative AI and LLM and address the hallucination issue by augmenting prompts with private database content. we will discuss the two vector embedding generations methods that we can use to generate vectors to the Oracle 23ai database for the unstructured data such as words , images etc: 1) Database native DBMS_DATA_MINING procedure to import ONNX(Open Nural Network eXchange embedding models ; 2) embedding models in LangChain. Using some examples, we will discuss using the LangChain framework for developing applications with Large Language Models (LLMs) and Using Oracle AI Vector Search to store and search vectors in Oracle Database 23ai.
