Show HN: Tomesphere Maps 8.5M Research Papers Into an Interactive Atlas

Hacker News·medium signal

A Show HN project embedding and projecting 8.5 million research papers into a navigable 2D atlas, drawing 77 points and 22 comments. It is an applied instance of the dimensionality-reduction-for-sensemaking problem — the same territory as recent UMAP kNN-graph work — but at consumer-facing scale with real corpus size. Useful as a literature-discovery surface and as a reference implementation for anyone building embedding-space navigation over a large document set.
