Microsoft makes AI tool for better search available as an open source project (opens in new tab)

the Github link gave me a 404

update: you made a typo, should be https://github.com/dfcf93/MSMARCO/tree/master/Conversational...

Great work! How does this compare to hierarchical navigable small world graph, like nmslib?

Cool project! One of the challenging use cases mentioned in the description is people taking a picture and asking the search engine, 'What is this?'. Has this been solved? (it is a very hard problem if taken beyond simple object classification)

1. how's this different from pysparnn or faiss?

2. does this support both sparse and dense vectors ann?

Yes, exactly! This seems like totally overblown title. It's akin to saying Google open sourced their key search tech Kubernetes, which is an open source rendition of Borg, where all the Google workloads run on top of.

lol - good point, foiled the Great Microsoft PR play
