📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal:

The session aimed to diagnose and resolve issues related to data merging and processing, ensuring data integrity and improving the data pipeline for article management.

Key Activities:

• Diagnosed merging issues in data processing, identifying root causes and recommending fixes for incorrect merging of editorial ideas with articles from different topics.
• Implemented Python code for merging JSONL and CSV files into a clean DataFrame, ensuring topic-level consistency.
• Corrected code to reconstruct the ‘digest_file’ column and normalize data using Python and Pandas.
• Proposed a strategy to reorganize the article pipeline to enhance traceability and uniqueness of identifiers, including creating new tables and implementation code.
• Resolved a common import error with the glob module in Python, providing solutions based on different import styles.
• Debugged CSV file processing issues, addressing the absence of the master_index.csv file and improving file handling in Python scripts.

Achievements:

• Successfully resolved data merging issues and improved the data processing pipeline.
• Enhanced the robustness of CSV file processing in Python scripts.

Pending Tasks:

• Further testing and validation of the new data pipeline structure to ensure long-term stability and efficiency.
