⚡ Key Takeaways

  • Sentence embeddings like MiniLM crush bag-of-words for meaningful clusters in recipe titles. 𝕏
  • Hierarchical clustering edges out k-means and DBSCAN for interpretability on text data. 𝕏
  • This student pipeline democratizes semantic grouping — perfect for indie devs building search tools. 𝕏
