🤯 Did You Know (click to read)

BERT can identify semantically equivalent questions even if they use different phrasing or vocabulary.

BERT encodes sentences into embeddings that capture semantic meaning. Fine-tuning on datasets like Quora Question Pairs allows it to detect duplicates or paraphrases, improving QA systems, search engines, and automated support systems.

💥 Impact (click to read)

Duplicate detection reduces redundancy and improves efficiency in content management and question-answering platforms.

For users, similar questions are recognized and linked appropriately. The irony is that similarity detection is statistical rather than cognitive.
