This is cool, but how about local semantic search through tens of thousands articles and books. Sure I'm not the first, there should be some tools already.


I definitely was thinking about something like this for PaperMatch itself. Where anyone can pull a docker image and search through the articles locally! Do you think this idea is worthwhile pursuing?


Absolutely worth doing. Here is interesting related video, local RAG:

I'm not an expert, but I'll do it for learning. Then open source if it works. As far as I understand this approach requires a vector database and LLM which doesn't have to be big. Technically it can be implemented as local web server. Should be easy to use, just type and get a sorted by relevance list.


Perfect!

Although, atm I am only using retrieval without any LLM involved. Might try integrating if it significantly improves UX without compromising speeds.
