Use the Azure AI Vision multi-modal embeddings API for image retrieval

Welcome to a new learning series about image similarity search with pgvector, an open-source vector similarity search extension for PostgreSQL databases.

I find vector search an intriguing technology, and I’ve decided to explore it! Throughout this series, I will discuss the basic concepts of vector search, introduce you to the multi-modal embeddings API of Azure AI Vision, and guide you in building an image similarity search application using Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL.
