The Get Embedding for Text step obtains numerical vector representations (embeddings) for text data. Text embeddings represent the semantic meaning of text, enabling various downstream natural language processing (NLP) tasks, such as text classification, clustering, or similarity analysis.
Prerequisites
Refer to Google Vertex AI for setup instructions before using the step.
Additionally, ensure that the Google Cloud module dependency is installed, as it is required for this step to function.
Users on v9 will need to create a Project dependency.
Properties

| OverridePredictionParameters | When enabled, overrides default prediction parameters permitting custom parameters to be created. | Boolean |
| ModelName | Specifies the Vertex AI embedding model to use when generating text embeddings. This is a free-text field where users must enter a valid embedding model identifier (e.g., text-embedding-004). The model must be available in the configured GCP project and region. | String |
| SetSpecificModel | When enabled, creates a new textbox allowing the selection of a specified AI model. | Boolean |
