Open Source Scala Neural Search Software

Elasticsearch plugin for nearest neighbor search. Store vectors and run similarity searches using exact and approximate algorithms. Methods like word2vec and convolutional neural nets can convert many data modalities (text, images, users, items, etc.) into numerical vectors, such that pairwise distance computations on the vectors correspond to semantic similarity of the original data. Elasticsearch is a ubiquitous search solution, but its support for vectors is limited. This plugin fills the gap by bringing efficient exact and approximate vector search to Elasticsearch. This enables users to combine traditional queries (e.g., “some product”) with vector search queries (e.g., an image (vector) of a product) for an enhanced search experience.
