Motivation
I am faszinated by radioWissen podcasts from BR2. They provide a wide range of topics: History, literature, music, mythology, religions, philosophy, psychology, nature, biology, economy and politics. Currently (2019-10-14) there are 2068 podcasts online. Therefore it is sometimes hard to find podcasts that I want to listen to based on quite specific query. Since I like the idea of embeddings to represent content, I have written a function to inspire me what I can listen to next.
The embeddings are based on feed-forward Neural-Net Language Models with 128-dimensional embedding vectors from tfhub.dev.
The idea is to get an inspiration which podcasts -- with similar content -- are available.
Find top_n closest podcasts to search_string.
$ python quick_search_radiowissen.py --search_string="Klassizismus" --top_n=15
