Clustering
Paragraphs have been clustered using Snowflake/snowflake-arctic-embed-xs embeddings.
Multiple cluster granularities are available as separate configurations with cluster counts of:
1 000 | 2 000 | 5 000 | 10 000 | 20 000 | 50 000 | 100 000 | 200 000 | 500 000 | 1 000 000
Example Data Sample
{
"title": "SS Arrow",
"text": "On February 5, 1970, a mile-long oil slick had formed and was heading for Cape Breton Island, the northern side of the bay. Small aircraft attempted to disperse the oil, dropping a chemical dispersant known as COREXIT on the spill, but this failed. The oil spread and washed ashore on many beaches in the bay. Within a week, the oil had spread to cover 75 miles of beaches and threatened to spread even further. Ultimately, the oil spill affected 190 miles of shoreline, with environmental degradation still evident decades later. The clean-up took months. The pollution crippled the local fishing industry, with fishermen catching lobsters and fish coated in bunker C. The Fisheries Research Board of Canada conducted experiments in May 1970 to assess aquatic life and imposed regulations on commercial fishing to protect public health. The combined cleanup and environmental impact costs ran into millions of dollars."
