Specifying the task type (e.g., "question-answering") when generating Vertex AI embeddings helps tailor the embeddings to the specific context of the application, improving their relevance and effectiveness for real-time Q&A.
Here is the code snippet you can refer to:

The above code provides the following benefits:
- Context-Specific Embeddings: Tailored embeddings for Q&A ensure better alignment with semantic understanding.
- Improved Accuracy: Embeddings generated for a specific task type enhance retrieval and matching in real-time systems.
- Seamless Integration: Vertex AI's pre-trained models support task-specific optimizations directly.
Hence, this approach ensures embeddings are optimized for Q&A, improving response accuracy and relevance.
