Thematic analysis of the garden: graph-augmented
What happens when you start from embeddings instead of reading? Comparing cluster-based discovery against the fresh thematic analysis.
field-notes
External content discovery
Using the garden's own knowledge graph to find relevant external content, papers, and articles.
field-notes
Stable map positions: giving the garden roots
How the explore map got stable positions and pinned territories, so the landscape doesn't shift on every rebuild.
field-notes
Typed relations as garden infrastructure
How hub/develops relations replace tag-based project structure with an explicit ontology, and what that means for the three kinds of connections in the garden.
field-notes
How content chunk size influences embedding representations
Why embedding models cluster documents by format instead of topic when content lengths vary, and what to do about it.
field-notes
Explore page: a visual browsing UI for the garden
Design document for an /explore page that lets visitors walk through the garden visually, using semantic maps, serendipity, and trails.

Full-scale key phrase extraction: results
Running LLM-based key phrase extraction on all 92 garden items. What the results reveal about phrase overlap, short-text limits, and the role of key phrases in the knowledge graph.
field-notes
Key phrase extraction for the garden
What key phrase extraction is, how it evolved from word counting to LLM prompting, and which approach fits a small multilingual knowledge garden.
field-notes
Tuning the similarity threshold: from 2,771 candidates to useful suggestions
How to go from "everything is related to everything" to a useful set of link candidates. Data analysis, filtering strategies, and the research behind them.

Key phrase extraction prototype
Extract key phrases from 10 garden items using Ollama, compare LLM-based extraction with YAKE.
field-notes
Embedding models: a survey for the garden
A non-coder's guide to text embedding models, from word counting to semantic understanding, surveyed for use in a personal knowledge garden.
field-notes
Knowledge graph for the garden
Research into making the garden smarter about its own connections, from automatic backlinks to a full world model.
field-notes
Reading notes: Apple's Saga knowledge graph
Reading notes from Apple's Saga papers on building knowledge graphs at scale, and what transfers to a personal digital garden.

Embeddings for knowledge gardens: a research gap
Academic research on embeddings hasn't caught up with how PKM tools actually use them. There might be something worth writing here.

Saga: a platform for continuous construction and serving of knowledge at scale
Apple's hybrid batch-incremental knowledge graph platform. Key inspiration for building smarter connections in this garden.

Setting up local embedding models
How to install and run embedding models locally using Ollama, compare three models on garden content, and run a full-scale embedding pass.
