Ontologies and Neural Search to find the right algorithm for the job

Created on 2022-06-23T02:57:45-05:00

A great many computer science problems common and uncommon are already solved but the solutions are buried deep in old whitepapers.
There exists [fno.io](https://fno.io), an RDF ontology for describing functions and the problems they apply to.
But you still have to know what the problem is called.
So we record descriptions of particular problems solved by the algorithm. Put these in some state of the art neural search system (or just lob at meillisearch i dunno.)
Write about your problem in a search field and then use vector spatial relevance matching magic to find the most likely problems that meet what you are dealing with. Then we use the graph to find known algorithms to solve that particular problem.
