Part 7/13:
Shapiro didn't stop at backend processing. He created a simple Flask web service, enhancing accessibility. This interface allows users to input search queries—either as keywords or abstracts—and receive highly similar papers ranked by semantic relevance.
The interface is minimalist but effective: it displays the title, similarity score, abstract, and direct links to the papers on arXiv. Clicking on a title takes users straight to the original source, streamlining access.
Smart Search Results
He refined the search experience by:
Allowing adjustable result limits (e.g., top 10, 50, or 100 papers).
Organizing results with visual cues like color-coded scores.
Including the abstract and title for context.
