In the world of data, textual data stands out as being particularly complex. It doesn’t fall into neat rows and columns like numerical data does. As a side project, I’m in the process of developing my own personal AI assistant. The objective is to use the data within my notes and documents to answer my questions. The important benefit is all data processing will occure locally on my computer, ensuring that no documents are uploaded to the cloud, and my documents will remain private.
To handle such unstructured data, I’ve found the
unstructuredPython library to be extremely useful. It’s a flexible tool that works with various document formats, including Markdown, , XML, and HTML documents.
