Nearest Neighbor Embeddings Search with Qdrant and FiftyOne

Neural network embeddings are a low-dimensional representation of input data that give rise to a variety of applications. Embeddings have some interesting capabilities, as they are able to capture the semantics of the data points. This is especially useful for unstructured data like images and videos, so you can not only encode pixel similarities but also some more complex relationships. Performing searches over these embeddings gives rise to a lot of use cases like classification, building up the recommendation systems, or even anomaly detection. One of the primary benefits of performing a nearest neighbor search on embeddings to accomplish these tasks is that there is no need to create a custom network for every new problem, you can often just use pre-trained models.
