Like everyone these days, I'm futzing around with machine learning.
My photos app, Iris, has had pretty good face detection and recognition (running locally) for about a year now.
Over the weekend, I built a small Mac app that generates embeddings for all of my work notes stored in Obsidian. Then, borrowing the similarity ranking algorithm I'm using for faces in Iris, it's doing a really good job of surfacing notes related to the currently selected one.
Will it prove useful in the long-term? I'm not sure yet. But it has been a fun diversion to play with.
