📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The primary goal of this session was to enhance and correct functions related to text extraction and processing from HTML and legal documents using Python.

Key Activities

  • Correction in HTML Text Construction: Addressed issues in constructing text from HTML elements to ensure accurate text collection and concatenation.
  • Improved Text Extraction Function: Modified extraer_articulos_titulos_capitulos to better handle articles, titles, and chapters, including conditions and exceptions.
  • Function Adaptation for Grouping: Adapted the agrupar_articulos function to work with list outputs, introducing agrupar_elementos for grouping elements up to 2500 words.
  • Function Review and Adjustment: Reviewed and adjusted the extraer_articulos_titulos_capitulos function for efficient detection and counting of document elements.
  • Text Processing Adjustment: Enhanced the function to correctly process text following colons, ensuring proper accumulation before detecting new elements.
  • Legal Article Extraction Modification: Improved detection of legal articles, ensuring citations aren’t misinterpreted as new articles unless consecutive.
  • Verification Logic Integration: Incorporated logic to verify citations in article lines, preventing misclassification as new articles.
  • Citation Handling Improvement: Proposed solutions for managing citations within text extraction, maintaining article flow and continuity.

Achievements

  • Successfully improved and corrected multiple Python functions for text extraction and processing.
  • Enhanced the accuracy and efficiency of document element detection and grouping.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing and validation of the modified functions in diverse document scenarios.
  • Potential integration of these functions into larger systems or workflows.
