# Question Matcher

Backend + website frontend for finding questions that are similar in meaning within database. Search is based on 
sentence transformers which are comparable to cosine-similarity. 
By default, a general [large-instructor](https://huggingface.co/hkunlp/instructor-large) model is used.
