Query PDF
Mar 2024 - Jun 2024
QueryPDF is a web application designed to enhance document analysis by intelligently retrieving relevant sentences based on user queries. Traditional search methods often miss nuanced information in documents, requiring exact keyword matches. QueryPDF overcomes this limitation using advanced sentence transformer models to identify contextually relevant sentences, even when specific keywords are absent.
