This is a quick prototype I built for semantic search and factual question answering using embeddings and GPT-3.<p>It tries to solve the LLM hallucination issue by guiding it only to answer questions from the given context instead of making things up. If you ask something not covered in an episode, it should say that it doesn't know rather than providing a plausible, but potentially incorrect response.<p>It uses Whisper to transcribe, text-embedding-ada-002 to embed, Pinecone.io to search, and text-davinci-003 to generate the answer.<p>More examples and explanations here: <a href="https://twitter.com/rileytomasek/status/1603854647575384067" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/rileytomasek/status/1603854647575384067</a>
I did the same for the FDA drug label database and 100% believe that this the future for search. Semantic search layer for context then the large language layer for human answers.<p>Tip - you don’t actually need GPT-3 level embedding for a decent semantic search. Sentence transformers paired with one of their models is good enough.<p>I like this: <a href="https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/multi-qa-MiniLM-L6-cos-v1" rel="nofollow">https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/multi-qa-MiniLM...</a> - since it’s very light.<p>Also, perhaps I am an idiot but I just used Postgres array field to store my embeddings array to keep things simple and free.
Holy f**ing s**t, this is amazing!<p>The UX is gorgeous, simple and snappy. I remember a few of Huberman's podcasts so I typed a few questions and the answers were spot on.<p>I'll be following you and your work, Riley.
This is an amazing piece of work and as others have said, the site and the UI are perfect.<p>On a side note, Huberman Labs bothers me. I was an avid listener to the early episodes. As I have ADHD, some of his explanations of the brain chemistry involved in attention and motivation were fascinating. But in one of the early-ish episodes he said some completely ridiculous about acupuncture (that it worked) that makes me think he has no real critical thinking skills.<p>I hope anyone out there listening to him and thinking about applying any of the approaches he talks about just takes the time to see whether any other sources say they have real-world effects.<p>To the credit of the author, this tool highlights the exact thing I'm talking about. Try searching for...<p>"How does acupuncture work?"<p>"Acupuncture involves taking needles and sometimes electricity and or heat as well and stimulating particular locations on the body. Through these maps of stimulation that have been developed over thousands of years, mostly in Asia, acupuncture can reduce inflammation in the body by stimulating the body in particular ways at particular sites on the body, liberating certain cells and molecules that enhance the function of the immune system and potentially can be used to combat different types of infection."
This is excellent! I have only recently begun listening to Huberman Lab and my biggest issue has been that I usually don't have an opportunity to write down most of the suggestions while I'm listening.<p>I've only done a single search with the tool so far, but it immediately returned the details that I was hoping for, along with context and other relevant mentions of the search terms.<p>Thank you kindly for making and sharing this.

In a person with ADHD ... these brain areas are not playing well with each other.<p>I wonder if part of the problem might be the usage of text to speech. Did you consider scraping the transcriptions instead? e.g. with <a href="https://github.com/jdepoix/youtube-transcript-api">https://github.com/jdepoix/youtube-transcript-api</a>
I was just thinking the other day how I'd LOVE to have a way to get a summary of all of the experts' opinions Huberman has had opine on a given supplement. This goes beyond my expectations. Great work!
This is great. Since I also found the discoverability of podcasts annoying, I wrote a tool to download the Huberman Lab transcripts and convert them to an ebook: <a href="https://github.com/cmf/huberman">https://github.com/cmf/huberman</a>. They still take a while to read though!
this is amazing, thank you for building this, i was literally in the process of doing this with the same stack but as a chat bot.<p>would you be open sourcing soon? totally understand if you want to keep it private but if you are open sourcing there’s a few other podcasts i’m interested in running this on for myself, like some parenting ones.
This is pretty amazing. Is this approach documented or explained anywhere?<p>I have some ideas of my own that I would love to implement similarly to this and it would help to know how to get started.
