LinkedCulture Hybrid
Keyword precision + semantic discovery
Traditional keyword search is strong when users know exact names, titles, materials, places, or catalog terms. Semantic search is useful when users search by concept, mood, symbol, or meaning. LinkedCulture Hybrid tests how both approaches can work together. The current prototype searches multilingual records from Getty Museum (59,979), Art Institute of Chicago (58,443), Rijksmuseum (47,156), Cleveland Museum of Art (41,279), Harvard Art Museums (6,509), the Met (4,277), Joconde (10,000), and Paris Musees (1,751).
Blends keyword precision with semantic discovery. Weights: keyword 0.50, semantic 0.50.
When enabled, descriptions generated from each object's image help surface records that text and metadata alone would miss.
When enabled, your query is also translated to the other language and searched, surfacing matches across English and French collections. May add some latency.
