aboutA semantic search engine for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy with reranked passage retrieval and an interactive concept graph.
-Built a semantic search engine over 74k+ Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy passage chunks from 1,800+ entries, embedding text with all-mpnet-base-v2 and indexing vectors in PostgreSQL via pgvector.
-Improved retrieval quality with a two-stage pipeline combining pgvector similarity search for candidate generation and cross-encoder reranking for semantic relevance scoring.
-Built an interactive D3.js concept graph connecting 1,000+ SEP entries through explicit cross-links and semantic similarity, letting users explore networks of related ideas beyond the encyclopedia's native hyperlink structure.
