Semantic Search for Research Papers
Develop a semantic search engine for a collection of research papers. The engine should allow users to search using natural language queries and retrieve relevant papers based on semantic similarity, not just keyword matching. The system should handle variations in terminology and different writing styles. Focus on building a highly accurate and efficient search experience.
What you are building
Create a semantic search engine for research papers using embeddings and similarity search.
How work is evaluated
Evaluate the search engine's performance using Mean Average Precision (MAP) and Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR). The system should be tested against a dataset of research papers and queries.
Datasets
Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.
Learning goals
Implement an efficient similarity search algorithm (e.g., FAISS).
Create a robust document embedding model.
Handle different types of queries and different sizes of document collections.
Develop a user interface for interacting with the search engine.
Evaluate the effectiveness of the search engine using recall and precision.
