Build semantic media recommender with ChromaDB, Sentence Transformers

This tutorial demonstrates how to build a semantic media recommendation engine using Python, ChromaDB, and Sentence Transformers. The system converts natural language descriptions of emotions or situations into embeddings, which are then stored and queried in ChromaDB. Unlike traditional keyword search, this method retrieves recommendations based on semantic similarity, allowing users to find media that matches a specific vibe or emotional context across different types like books, films, poems, and songs. The project focuses on the core mechanics of semantic retrieval before integrating more complex features. AI
