🏷️ Labels: Optimization, Python, Pandas, Textmanager, Code Refactoring
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to optimize and analyze various data processing functions and methods in Python, focusing on efficiency, structure, and standardization.

Key Activities

• Optimized Pandas Query for Chunk Metadata: Enhanced the efficiency of loading and querying chunk metadata using Pandas.
• Optimized Code for Creating Chunk List: Improved the generation of a list of dictionaries from a dictionary of chunk IDs.
• Load Raw Text Chunks Function: Developed a function to efficiently load raw text chunks with optimizations for metadata access and error handling.
• Analysis of Text Retrieval Functions: Compared and analyzed get_text_by_id and load_chunk_texts functions for optimization opportunities.
• Standardization Goals for TextManager Class: Refactored the TextManager class to standardize method signatures and improve file operations using Pathlib.
• Analysis of get_chunks_from_paths() Function: Examined the function’s role and proposed improvements for design coherence.
• Efficient Row Filtering in Pandas DataFrames: Explored methods for filtering rows in Pandas DataFrames with performance optimizations using NumPy.

Achievements

• Successfully optimized several functions and methods, improving their efficiency and structure.
• Clarified the roles and optimization opportunities for key text retrieval functions.

Pending Tasks

• Further standardization and refactoring of the TextManager class to ensure consistency across all methods.
• Implement proposed improvements for the get_chunks_from_paths() function to enhance design coherence.
