Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface facebookresearch/SONAR, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.
Action plan — copy-paste fixes
3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- hightopics#1Add relevant topics to improve categorization and searchability
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXmultilingual, multimodal, sentence-embeddings, speech-processing, natural-language-processing, machine-translation, cross-modal, ai, deep-learning, facebook-ai
- highreadme#2Reposition the README's opening to clearly state SONAR's core function and audience
Why:
CURRENTWe introduce SONAR, a new multilingual and multimodal fixed-size sentence embedding space, with a full suite of speech and text encoders and decoders. It substantially outperforms existing sentence embeddings such as LASER3 and LabSE on the xsim and xsim++ multilingual similarity search tasks.
COPY-PASTE FIXSONAR provides a new multilingual and multimodal fixed-size sentence embedding space, complete with speech and text encoders and decoders. Designed for researchers and developers, SONAR enables advanced applications like cross-modal similarity search and zero-shot speech-to-text translation, outperforming existing sentence embeddings such as LASER3 and LabSE.
