Semantic Search on Research Papers

Sept. 2022

Overview

I participated in Hack the North 2022 to explore my passion for computing. For three days straight, my team developed a site where an individual can perform a semantic search on research papers in PDF format. A semantic search is a search based on meaning rather than exact words. This site will help students and researchers to search more effectively through papers and save time reading.

Key Highlights

• The semantic search was able to perform up to 80% accuracy on research pdf papers using NLP APIs provided by Co:here
• I Led a team of 3 students throughout this project to implement the Frontend and Backend of the site
