Really interesting take on the problem of knowledge discovery.
Full-text search still remains a challenging problem. At the same time, the increasing popularity of vector DBs, in particular, the embeddings data structure, provide another approach to the fundamental problem. A conjugation of both of these technologies can be used to build a valuable solution.
However, questions around the efficiency of such a solution remains to be tested and monitored.
