Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll bring together multiple tools and models to construct a production-grade smart search engine. You’ll combine off-the-shelf Elasticsearch models for keyword search with your own semantic search API using transformers. Start by setting up and indexing an Elasticsearch Docker container, then quickly move on to boosting search relevance with BERT. Finally, you’ll set up a Flask API to serve a BERT model and look into customizing your search engine for your own particular topics of interest.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
