Awesome Semantic-Search 
Logo made by @createdbytango.
Following repository aims to serve a meta-repository for Semantic Search and Semantic Similarity related tasks.
Semantic Search isn't limited to text! It can be done with images, speech, etc.There are numerous different use-cases and applications of semantic search.
Feel free to raise a PR on this repo!
