AWS Certified AI Practitioner AIF-C01 Practice Question
A company builds a chatbot that uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). For each document, the team creates an embedding vector and stores it in a vector database. At runtime, the user query is also embedded, then a vector search is performed. What is the main purpose of this vector search step?
Identify documents whose embeddings are nearest to the query vector so semantically relevant content can be retrieved even when exact words differ.
Fine-tune the language model by adjusting its weights using the retrieved vectors.
Convert the document embeddings back into text tokens before they are sent to the language model.
Encrypt all stored embeddings with AES-256 to meet compliance requirements.
Vector search compares the numeric embedding of the user's query with the stored document embeddings and returns the ones that lie closest in the high-dimensional space (for example, by cosine similarity or Euclidean distance). Because embeddings capture semantic meaning, proximity in this space indicates that the documents are conceptually related to the query even if they share few or no identical keywords. The other options describe activities that are not carried out by the vector search operation itself: converting vectors back to tokens is part of downstream processing, encryption is a security feature handled separately, and updating model weights is training rather than retrieval.
