Direction search

[enjalot]

Now that I have experienced being able to grab handfuls of related data points I find myself wanting to experiment with some more interesting latent space techniques. I can imagine implementing an interface for something like this where you create a "direction" in latent space by selecting some set of "positive" points and then selecting "negative" points. I also think it would be cool if you could manually add positive or negative examples to flesh out the direction.

Then once you have that set you can calculate the difference between the averages of the positive and negative embeddings. You can then sim search by that vector, or even order data by the magnitude of the direction.
