One thought that has occurred to me when using tagging systems is that they ought to have the ability to refactor tags. No matter what the tagging scheme is initially, it will surely mutate over time. It should be possible to rename tags, join tags and divide one tag into multiple tags. And while you are at it, perhaps it could use some kind of sentence embeddings to suggest tags that mean approximately the same thing.
- flir 3y agoStemming would get you 95% of the way there in coalescing tags. Would sentence embedding outperform that significantly?
- nerdponx 3y agoIn my opinion this is largely a UI/UX issue. For some reason, applications with rich tagging systems have only the most raw basic interface for manipulating and searching using tags.
- benrbray 3y agoI think something like datalog queries would be perfect for refactoring and searching tags. Would also let you declare relationships between tags, like "tagged(x, calculus) -> tagged(x, math)"
