Vespa.ai and the CORD-19 public API

Vespa.ai has developed a search application, cord19.vespa.ai, based on the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19) released by the Allen Institute for AI, providing both an open-sourced frontend and backend. Users can search for articles using a simple query language or a more advanced Vespa query language (YQL) through a public API. The application allows for tailored search experiences, including semantic searches using embeddings for enhanced relevance. Developers are encouraged to contribute by improving the application or creating their own versions, either locally or via Vespa Cloud, while detailed documentation and tutorials are available to guide users in maximizing the tool's capabilities.
