Practical overview

When it fits

Use Dataclysm when you want concrete notebook and app examples for embedding-based article discovery, retrieval-augmented summaries or reranking across PubMed, arXiv and English Wikipedia.

Who it is for

  • Developers exploring semantic article retrieval and RAG workflows.
  • Researchers or technical users who want to explore ranked, title-related results across the covered article datasets.

Documented uses

  • Retrieve articles with titles similar to a query using embeddings and FAISS.
  • Summarize retrieved examples with a local LLM workflow.
  • Explore related article results in a Streamlit search interface.
  • Compare classical score augmentation with experimental LLM-based reranking.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • The demonstrated RAG retrieval is based on title similarity, rather than a documented full-text search workflow.
  • LLM-based reranking is labeled experimental in the repository.
  • The README suggests Python 3.10 and a fresh conda environment for installing dependencies.
  • The repository is licensed under Apache-2.0.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Start the Streamlit article-search demo

Launch the documented Spatial Search Engine interface for exploring datasets and ranked, title-related articles.

Before you start

  • A fresh conda environment; the README suggests Python 3.10.
  • The repository and its requirements.txt dependencies.
  • Streamlit available in the environment.

Steps

  1. Install the repository dependencies with %pip install -r requirements.txt.

  2. Change to the streamlit-demo directory.

  3. Run streamlit run app.py.

Expected outcome

The Streamlit Spatial Search Engine app starts for exploring the Dataclysm datasets and ranked article results.

Guide limitations

  • The documented search is based on article titles.
  • The guide documents launching the app, not a verification of successful execution.
