Implement NLP-Based Search

[shri30yans]

Implement a search functionality using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to allow users to search across various projects stored in a PostgreSQL database. The goal is to enable intelligent and relevant search results that go beyond simple keyword matching.

This task is abstract, and multiple methods can be explored to achieve the best outcome.

Requirements

1. Search Functionality:

   • Implement a search feature that leverages NLP to interpret user queries and return relevant project results from the PostgreSQL database.
   • The search should be able to handle:
     • Synonyms: Understanding similar terms and returning relevant projects.
     • Contextual understanding: Extracting relevant projects based on the context of the query, not just exact word matches.
     • Fuzzy Matching: Tolerating typos or spelling variations.

2. PostgreSQL Integration:

   • Ensure the NLP-based search queries the project data stored in a PostgreSQL database.
   • Optimize queries to ensure performance, especially if the project data grows large over time.

3. NLP Methods to Consider:

   • Vector-based search: Implement semantic search using word embeddings (e.g., Word2Vec, BERT, or FastText) to find projects with similar meanings.
   • NLP to SQL Translation Translate natural language queries directly into SQL queries using NLP models. Users can ask questions in plain English and NLP models parse the user’s input and generate the corresponding SQL query that searches the PostgreSQL database.
   • Find other methods optimal methods

4. Search Input and Output:

   • Allow users to input natural language queries (e.g., "Show me projects AI projects about 3D Printing.").
   • Return a list of projects, including the project title, brief description, and link to the full project.

Acceptance Criteria

• The search functionality can handle a variety of user queries and return relevant projects using NLP techniques.
• Results from the PostgreSQL database are optimized for performance.
• Different methods of NLP are considered and discussed before implementation.
• The search interface is simple and user-friendly, and search results are easy to navigate.

Technical Notes

• Consider using open-source libraries or frameworks for NLP such as spaCy, NLTK, or Transformers (Hugging Face).
• Ensure database queries are optimized for speed, potentially using indexing or caching where necessary.
• If needed, explore using Elasticsearch or pg_trgm (Postgres trigram search) for advanced text search.

Notes

• This is an abstract idea and can be implemented in various ways depending on your research and analysis.
• Please get in touch before starting the implementation to discuss your approach.
