That is why we decided to build this extension to help people to discover new horizons of hidden GitHub gems.\n\nOnce you've loaded the GitHub repo page, the extension adds a list of similar repositories based on their titles and descriptions. We do not collect any data and open source this product to everyone.\n\n\n## Explanation\n\nUsing [SBERT](https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers) embeddings and scrapped repo's descriptions we have constructed vector embeddings for over 100,000 repositories. Once the client sends the description of the current repo, we construct a vector from it and then search for the nearest embeddings in the vector space. You can read more about [vector cosine similarity](https://www.pinecone.io/learn/vector-embeddings/). Constructed embeddings and scrapped repo's descriptions can be shared upon request.\n\n## Tech/frameworks used\nThe backend was built on **Python 3.9** using: \n- [Flask](https://github.com/pallets/flask) for server\n- [SBERT](https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers) for building repo's embeddings\n- [FAISS](https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss) for fast cosine similarity search\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMade by \u003ca href=\"https://indexstorm.com/\"\u003eindexStorm\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFollow on \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/index_storm\"\u003eTwitter @index_storm\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAuthors:\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n- \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/ovyan\"\u003eMike\u003c/a\u003e\n- \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/own2pwn\"\u003eEvgeniy\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"middle\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https://indexstorm.com/\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/23217571/183392524-2a566828-f567-4b08-b218-f97a905954b2.png\" \ndata-canonical-src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/23217571/183392524-2a566828-f567-4b08-b218-f97a905954b2.png\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" /\u003e\n\u003c/a\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FIndexStorm%2Fgit-rec-back","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FIndexStorm%2Fgit-rec-back","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FIndexStorm%2Fgit-rec-back/lists"}
