A Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Semantic Search Engine with Sentence Transformers, FAISS, and all-MiniLM-L6-v2

[ad_1] Semantic search goes beyond traditional keyword matching by understanding the contextual meaning of search queries. Instead of simply matching exact words, semantic search systems capture the intent and contextual definition of the query and return relevant results even when they don’t contain the same keywords. In this tutorial, we’ll implement a semantic search system…
