In this article you will see how you can easily use MongoDB in your AI project. I will show how to insert data and use embeddings to find similar documents.
We will use scientific papers data from kaggle and use spacy embeddings. You can setup your local MongoDB instance following this tutorial and download GUI from this site.
What is Mongo and how it works (in a nutshell)
Mongo is NoSQL type of db that provides a flexible and scalable database solution for modern applications that deal with large volumes of data and require fast performance.
