news article vector search

⚡️ Blazing fast NRC search

[EXPERIMENTAL]

The objective of this repo is to build a blazing fast semantic Neural search using a multilingual LLM and Qdrant (Quadrant) vector db. The following techs are used

• Qdrant
• FastEmbed
• Sentence Transformer
• distiluse-base-multilingual-cased-v1 (model)
  • generates aligned vector spaces, i.e., similar inputs in different languages are mapped close in vector space
  • 14 languages (incl. NL)
• Scalar Quantization (for faster inference time and memory efficiency)
  • 8-bit

Data

The data was scraped by utilizing the NRC scraper api given a set of categories. The result is a data set of NRC article items > 6500 and chunks from full articles > 45000.

Installation
