Generates vector embeddings to represent a text string, using the Vertex AI API.

Introduced in version 4.37.0.

This processor sends text strings to the Vertex AI API, which generates vector embeddings for them. By default, the processor submits the entire payload of each message as a string, unless you use the text field to customize it.

For more information, see the Vertex AI documentation.

Fields

project

Type: string

Default: RETRIEVAL_DOCUMENT

Option

Summary

CLASSIFICATION

Classify texts according to preset labels.

CLUSTERING

Cluster texts based on their similarities.

FACT_VERIFICATION

Optimize for queries that prove or disprove a fact, such as "apples grow underground".

QUESTION_ANSWERING

Optimize for proper questions, such as "Why is the sky blue?".

RETRIEVAL_DOCUMENT

text

The text you want to generate vector embeddings for. By default, the processor submits the entire payload as a string. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

output_dimensions

The maximum length of a generated vector embedding. If this value is set, generated embeddings are truncated to this size.

Type: int
