The ALMA Science Archive has a new functionality that will list the 20 most similar ALMA projects or publications to any projects you may be interested in. This is achieved with a sophisticated and state-of-the-art text-similarity algorithm.

When looking at a particular project or publication, have you ever wondered what other astronomers have been working on related to the same topic? The ALMA Science Archive now can tell you! When you hover over one of the "..."-symbols on the left-hand side of each row in the result table,  you will see a pop-up with the 20 most similar ALMA projects or publications. We use a sophisticated and state-of-the-art text-similarity algorithm to really find the best matches.

You can explore the matches very easily: a link in the pop-up will take you to a new browser tab that has these 20 most similar projects or publications pre-selected.
