Welcome to the Document Embedding discussion forum!
Document Embedding adds semantic search to Mayan EDMS using local language models.
Purchase / details: https://mayan.mypalace.ca/apps/document-embedding/
WHAT DOCUMENT EMBEDDING DOES
=============================
- Calculates a semantic fingerprint for each document
- Find conceptually related documents even with different vocabulary
- Works across multiple languages
- 100% local — no data sent to any cloud service
- Includes a "Similar documents" panel on each document page
GETTING STARTED
===============
1. Install and add to INSTALLED_APPS
2. Run migrations
3. Configure the embedding model under Settings > Document Embedding
4. Run the initial indexing task: manage.py embed_all_documents
5. Use the semantic search bar or the "Similar" link on any document
Common questions:
- Which embedding model should I use? (recommended: all-MiniLM-L6-v2 for speed)
- How long does initial indexing take? (depends on corpus size and hardware)
- Does it work with scanned documents? (yes, via the OCR text)
