🕒 21:30–22:20
🏷️ Labels: Clustering, Data Processing, Modularization, Chromadb, HDBSCAN
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal:

The session aimed to enhance the data processing pipeline for clustering and visualizing session data extracted from a Chroma database.

Key Activities:

  • Identified potential sources for clustering scripts, focusing on documents with relevant code and concepts.
  • Utilized Bash and Unix commands to list and locate Jupyter notebooks modified recently or on specific dates.
  • Discussed the current state and proposed modular evolution of the session processing pipeline.
  • Proposed a modular structure for Chroma data processing notebooks, detailing responsibilities and content.
  • Developed a notebook for data extraction and preprocessing from ChromaDB, saving processed data as CSV.
  • Evaluated file formats for saving embeddings, recommending more efficient alternatives like Parquet or NPY.
  • Provided Python code for listing collection names in Chroma Persistent Client.
  • Organized notebooks for clustering and feature engineering, detailing responsibilities and expected outputs.
  • Implemented a Python workflow for daily data clustering using HDBSCAN and UMAP with pandas.

Achievements:

  • Established a clear modular structure for data processing and clustering tasks.
  • Enhanced the session processing pipeline with new notebooks and workflows.
  • Improved data extraction and preprocessing capabilities with efficient file format recommendations.

Pending Tasks:

  • Further refine and test the modular notebooks for data processing and clustering.
  • Explore additional optimization techniques for embedding storage and retrieval.
