The Infoq Podcast

In this podcast, Roland Meertens and Anthony Alford discuss coordinate systems, both in AI and the physical world. They explore how a library's classification systems mirror the concept of embeddings in AI, where documents are organized based on similarity and how AI tools like RAG use vector spaces to efficiently retrieve the right content. They then discuss physical coordinate systems and how different countries have developed various schemes to represent the Earth’s surface, such as the UK's Ordnance Survey and the Netherlands' Rijksdriehoekscoördinaten.
