Understanding Vector Naming in Typesense
TLDR Koushik was confused by inconsistent vector naming in Typesense documents. Jason clarified that the vector can be named anything, as long as it has a 'num_dim' property.

03:23 PM{"name": "catalogue_items_vectors", "fields": [{"name": ".*", "type": "auto"},{"name": "vec", "type": "float[]", "num_dim": 768}]}now while going through with sample codes https://github.com/typesense/typesense-instantsearch-semantic-search-demo/tree/master
I can see typesense-instantsearch-semantic-search-demo/scripts/vector-generation/main.py
creating vector field like
product['
vectors'] = sentence_embeddings[0].tolist()I am little confuse which is typesense internally points ?

04:37 PMNot sure I understand the question. Could you elaborate?

03:56 PMnum_dim property in the field definition. In the docs we’ve used the name vec as an example, and in the example we’ve used the word vector as the field name. You can rename it to any stringJason
