Session Goal

The session aimed to enhance text and data processing capabilities using Python, focusing on name extraction, DataFrame manipulation, and report generation.

Key Activities

  • Developed a Python function to extract proper names from unstructured text using heuristics and regular expressions.
  • Improved the name extraction code to be more lenient and capture capitalized words as potential names.
  • Created a new DataFrame from existing data by iterating through rows and matching names in descriptions.
  • Updated the extract_names function to include parameters for filtering short names and excluding keywords.
  • Generated a markdown report in Argentine Spanish, formatting names and associated details.
  • Implemented code for converting Markdown to HTML using the Python markdown library and enhanced HTML output with Bootstrap CSS.
  • Set locale for date formatting in Spanish, replacing English day and month names with Spanish equivalents.

Achievements

  • Successfully developed and refined multiple Python scripts for text processing, data manipulation, and report generation.
  • Enhanced the appearance of HTML outputs using Bootstrap.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing and validation of the name extraction and DataFrame manipulation scripts to ensure accuracy and efficiency.
