Description: In this project, I redesigned and implemented the look of the application. It looks much better now on the website, but I still need to work on getting this look onto the pdf. Currently, the pdf does not have the logo and every question appears on different page.

Project: Web Editor Help
Started on: Feb 24, 2024
Staff Guidance: Geoff Boyd
Description: This project involves designing a better retrieval system for the web editor of COLA website. The website serves staff member to search for information easily with the documentation in the database. There are a lot of steps involved with redesigning the retrieval step, starting with implementing the pgvector database, implementing sentence-transformers for converting text to embedding, storing these embeddings into the database and then using cosine similarity to match.
Currently, I have done the first step of establishing the pgvector database and input some fake data into it. The first stage takes me a lot of time to set up and transition into pgvector from sql. But it has been good for now. The next stage I am doing is how to make sentence embedding to convert text to vectors for me.
