📂 Project: Dev

Session Goal

The session aimed to implement a corpus management system leveraging Chroma and SQLite to enhance data processing capabilities with full-text search and efficient data retrieval.

Key Activities

  • Corpus Management System: Developed a practical plan for implementing a corpus management system using Chroma and SQLite, including storage schema, embedding strategies, and ingestion flows.
  • Hierarchical Embedding Flow: Analyzed existing code for hierarchical embeddings, identified structural gaps, and suggested enhancements.
  • Function Management: Planned the adaptation of functions into a new repository with a structured module layout and QA checklist.
  • PDF Processing: Developed scripts for text extraction from PDFs using PyPDF2 and pdfplumber, and explored conversion to Markdown using GROBID and PyMuPDF.

Achievements

  • Established a comprehensive plan for corpus management with actionable code examples.
  • Enhanced code structure for hierarchical embeddings.
  • Created a detailed plan for function management and repository setup.
  • Implemented scripts for PDF text extraction and conversion insights.

Pending Tasks

  • Further refine the hierarchical embedding flow based on identified gaps.
  • Complete the function adaptation and QA process for the new repository.
