❓ What is my education background?
❓ How do I create a Django project?

Sample Output:

🔍 Results for: 'What programming languages do I know?'
✅ Relevant Results (1 found):
📄 Result 1 (Relevance: 0.44)
📁 Source: resume.txt
  CURRICULUM VITAE
  TECHNICAL SKILLS

2. RAG with Log Files + 2D Visualization

File: rag_logs.ipynb

Processes log files with interactive 2D visualizations.

Features:

Recursive log file scanning
T-SNE 2D visualization with Plotly
Interactive scatter plots with hover info
Source-based coloring

Data Structure:

logs/
├── application/
│   ├── app.log
│   └── error.log
├── system/
│   └── system.log
└── database/
    └── db.log

Usage:

# Load and process log files
input_dir = Path("logs")
documents = []

for log_path in input_dir.rglob("*.log"):
    with open(log_path, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
        content = f.read().strip()
        if content:
            documents.append(Document(
                page_content=content,
                metadata={"source": str(log_path.relative_to(input_dir))}
            ))

# Create vectorstore
embedding_model = HuggingFaceEmbeddings(model_name="sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2")
text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=200)
chunks = text_splitter.split_documents(documents)

vectorstore = Chroma.from_documents(
    documents=chunks, 
    embedding=embedding_model, 
    persist_directory="chroma_logs"
)

2D Visualization:

# Create 2D visualization
from sklearn.manifold import TSNE
import plotly.express as px

result = vectorstore.get(include=['embeddings', 'metadatas', 'documents'])
X = np.array(result['embeddings'])
X_2d = TSNE(n_components=2, perplexity=min(30, X.shape[0] - 1), random_state=42).fit_transform(X)

fig = px.scatter(
    x=X_2d[:, 0], 
    y=X_2d[:, 1], 
    color=[meta['source'] for meta in result['metadatas']],
    hover_data={"preview": [doc[:200] for doc in result['documents']]}
)
fig.update_layout(title="2D Visualization of Log File Embeddings")
fig.show()

3. RAG with CSV Files + 2D Visualization

File: rag_csv.ipynb

Processes CSV files with semantic search and visualization.

Features:

Pandas CSV processing
Structured data extraction
Semantic search across records
2D visualization of relationships

CSV Structure:

ID,Name,Description,Category,Value
1,Product A,High-quality item,Electronics,100
2,Service B,Professional service,Consulting,200
3,Item C,Standard product,Office,50

Usage:

import pandas as pd

# Load CSV files and convert to documents
for csv_path in input_dir.rglob("*.csv"):
    df = pd.read_csv(csv_path)
    
    if "Name" in df.columns and "Description" in df.columns:
        records = [
            f"{row['Name']}: {row['Description']}"
            for _, row in df.iterrows()
            if pd.notna(row['Description'])
        ]
    else:
        records = [" ".join(str(cell) for cell in row) for _, row in df.iterrows()]
    
    content = "\n".join(records).strip()
    
    if content:
        documents.append(Document(
            page_content=content,
            metadata={"source": str(csv_path.relative_to(input_dir))}
        ))

vectorstore = Chroma.from_documents(
    documents=documents, 
    embedding=embedding_model, 
    persist_directory="chroma_csv_data"
)

2D Visualization:

# Extract file IDs for labeling
def extract_file_id(path_str):
    return Path(path_str).stem

sources = [extract_file_id(meta['source']) for meta in all_metas]

fig = px.scatter(
    x=X_2d[:, 0], 
    y=X_2d[:, 1], 
    color=sources,
    hover_data={"preview": [doc[:200] for doc in all_docs]}
