In plain words

This search engine allows users to perform mathematical operations on search terms by treating words as vectors. Instead of traditional keyword searches, users can add words together to find related concepts and explore semantic relationships. Launched in 2013, it's designed for anyone curious about how language and meaning connect through data science principles. The tool makes abstract vector mathematics accessible for word exploration and discovery.

    As a grad student (and an ADHDer), I had trouble doing literature review systematically. To combat this, I made a website that finds similar papers using the meaning of the thing I am looking for. I used MixedBread's [^1] embedding model to generate vectors from the abstracts. I store and search similar vectors using Milvus [^2] and finally use Gradio [^3] to serve the frontend. I update the vector database weekly by pulling the metadata dataset from Kaggle [^4]. To speed up the search process on my free oracle instance, I binarise the embeddings and use Hamming distance as a metric. I would…
