pgvector
Open-source vector similarity search for Postgres
pgvector is an open-source PostgreSQL extension that equips PostgreSQL databases with vector data storage, indexing, and similarity search capabilities—ideal for embeddings-based applications like semantic search and recommendations. You can add an index to use approximate nearest neighbor search, which trades some recall for speed. Unlike typical indexes, you will see different results for queries after adding an approximate index. An HNSW index creates a multilayer graph. It has better query performance than IVFFlat (in terms of speed-recall tradeoff), but has slower build times and uses more memory. Also, an index can be created without any data in the table since there isn’t a training step like IVFFlat. -

UForm
Multi-Modal Neural Networks for Semantic Search, based on Mid-Fusion
UForm is a Multi-Modal Modal Inference package, designed to encode Multi-Lingual Texts, Images, and, soon, Audio, Video, and Documents, into a shared vector space! It comes with a set of homonymous pre-trained networks available on HuggingFace portal and extends the transfromers package to support Mid-fusion Models. Late-fusion models encode each modality independently, but into one shared vector space. Due to independent encoding late-fusion models are good at capturing coarse-grained features but often neglect fine-grained ones. This type of models is well-suited for retrieval in large collections. The most famous example of such models is CLIP by OpenAI. Early-fusion models encode both modalities jointly so they can take into account fine-grained features. Usually, these models are used for re-ranking relatively small retrieval results. Mid-fusion models are the golden midpoint between the previous two types. Mid-fusion models consist of two parts – unimodal and multimodal. -
