DevExpress VCL Data Grid - Smart Semantic AI Filter

This example adds AI-powered filter capabilities to the DevExpress VCL Data Grid (using a lightweight ONNX model and a BERT tokenizer). Unlike built-in search/filter operations, Smart AI Filter compares strings based on semantic similarities rather than exact matches.

Third-Party Dependencies

• TONNXRuntime
• BertTokenizer4D

Prerequisites

• Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit) or newer
• ONNX Runtime v1.23.0 (required to run on Windows 10)
• Embarcadero RAD Studio IDE 12 or newer (Community Edition is not supported)
• DevExpress VCL Components v25.1.5 or newer

Deploy and Run

1. Clone this repository (including submodules):

   git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:DevExpress-Examples/vcl-grid-smart-semantic-filter.git

   If you have already cloned the repository without submodules, initialize them using the following command:

   git submodule update --init --recursive

2. Open and build the SimilaritySearch project (DPR).

3. If using Windows 10 (64-bit), place the latest version of onnxruntime.dll (available in the official repository) into the executable file folder.

4. Run the sample project.
