- Create a configuration file (see Input Format)
- Example directory structure:
```
IntelliDoc/
├── inputs/
│   ├── document1.pdf
│   ├── document2.pdf
│   └── config.json
└── ...
```

Run the Application

# Basic usage with default settings
python main.py

# With custom input/output directories
python main.py --input-dir ./my_inputs --output-dir ./my_outputs

# With verbose logging
python main.py --verbose

View Results
- Output will be saved in the outputs/ directory by default
- Main output file: challenge1b_output.json
- Logs are available in app.log (when verbose mode is enabled)

Command Line Options

python main.py [options]

Options:
  --input-dir PATH    Directory containing input PDFs (default: inputs/)
  --output-dir PATH   Directory to save output (default: outputs/)
  --config FILE       Path to configuration file (default: auto-detected)

Configuration File Format

Create a config.json file in your input directory with the following format:

{
  "persona": "[Persona description]",
  "job_to_be_done": "[Detailed description of the task]"
}

Example:

{
  "persona": "Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 5 years of experience in NLP",
  "job_to_be_done": "Research state-of-the-art transformer architectures for document understanding"
}

Environment Variables

You can also configure the application using environment variables:

# Set input/output directories
export INTELLIDOC_INPUT_DIR=./my_inputs
export INTELLIDOC_OUTPUT_DIR=./my_outputs

# Set logging level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL)
export INTELLIDOC_LOG_LEVEL=INFO

# Enable/disable features

export INTELLIDOC_MAX_DOCS=5

Input Format

The system expects:

3-10 PDF files in /app/input/ directory
Configuration file (one of):
- config.json: JSON format with persona and job_to_be_done fields
- persona.json: Alternative JSON configuration
- input.json: Another alternative format
- *.txt: Plain text with persona on first line, job description following

Example Configuration (`config.json`):

{
  "persona": "PhD Researcher in Computational Biology with expertise in machine learning applications",
  "job_to_be_done": "Prepare a comprehensive literature review focusing on methodologies, datasets, and performance benchmarks for graph neural networks in drug discovery"
}

Output Format

The system generates challenge1b_output.json with:

{
  "metadata": {
    "input_documents": ["doc1.pdf", "doc2.pdf"],
    "persona": "...",
    "job_to_be_done": "...",
    "processing_timestamp": "2025-01-XX...",
    "total_sections_analyzed": 45,
    "documents_processed": 3
  },
  "extracted_sections": [
    {
      "document": "doc1.pdf",
      "page_number": 3,
      "section_title": "Graph Neural Network Architectures",
      "importance_rank": 1
    }
  ],
  "subsection_analysis": [
    {
      "document": "doc1.pdf",
      "page_number": 3,
      "refined_text": "Graph neural networks have emerged as..."
    }
  ]
}

Technical Implementation

Persona Classification

The system recognizes 8 persona types:

Researcher: Focus on methodology, literature, benchmarks
Student: Emphasis on concepts, examples, fundamentals
Analyst: Business metrics, trends, performance analysis
Engineer: Technical implementation, architecture, systems
Manager: Strategy, planning, execution, processes
Consultant: Recommendations, best practices, optimization
Journalist: Facts, events, context, impact analysis
Entrepreneur: Market opportunities, innovation, scaling

Content Type Detection

Automatically identifies 6 content types:

Methodology: Approaches, techniques, frameworks
Results: Findings, data, measurements, outcomes
Background: Context, literature, historical information
Analysis: Evaluation, interpretation, discussion
Examples: Cases, illustrations, applications
Summary: Conclusions, abstracts, key points

Advanced Scoring Algorithm

def calculate_score(section, persona, job):
    score = (
        0.35 * semantic_similarity(section, persona, job) +
        0.25 * keyword_overlap(section, persona, job) +
        0.20 * content_type_match(section, job) +
        0.15 * expertise_alignment(section, persona) +
        0.05 * structural_importance(section)
    )
    return min(score, 1.0)

Performance Optimizations

Efficient Text Processing: Optimized regular expressions and string operations
Smart Caching: Avoid redundant computations
Memory Management: Process documents sequentially to minimize RAM usage
Early Filtering: Skip irrelevant content early in the pipeline

Docker Support

Building the Docker Image

Build the Docker image:

docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t intellidoc:latest .

Verify the image was built successfully:
```
docker images | grep intellidoc
```

Running the Container

Create input and output directories:
```
mkdir -p ./input ./output
```
Place your PDF files and config in the input directory:
```
cp your-document.pdf ./input/
cp config.json ./input/
```

Run the container:

docker run --rm \
  -v $(pwd)/input:/app/input \
  -v $(pwd)/output:/app/output \
  --network none \
  intellidoc:latest

Docker Compose

For easier management, you can use Docker Compose:

Create a docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3.8'
services:
  intellidoc:
    build: .
    volumes:
      - ./input:/app/input
      - ./output:/app/output
    environment:
      - INTELLIDOC_LOG_LEVEL=INFO
      - INTELLIDOC_MAX_DOCS=5
    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          cpus: '2'
          memory: 2G

Start the service:
```
docker-compose up --build
```

Docker Best Practices

Resource Limits: The example above sets reasonable CPU and memory limits
Volume Mounting: Use named volumes for production deployments
Security: Runs with non-root user inside container
Caching: Leverages Docker layer caching for faster builds

Resource Management: Properly manages file handles and system resources

Logging System

Logs are written to app.log and can be configured via environment variables:

import logging

# Basic configuration
logging.basicConfig(
    level=os.getenv('INTELLIDOC_LOG_LEVEL', 'INFO'),
    format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s',
    handlers=[
        logging.FileHandler('app.log'),
        logging.StreamHandler()
    ]
)

# Get logger for a module
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

Common Issues and Solutions

OCR Failures:
- Ensure Tesseract is installed and in PATH
- Check that the language packs are installed
- Verify image quality if using scanned documents
PDF Processing Errors:
- Corrupt PDFs may cause issues
- Try opening the PDF in a viewer to verify integrity
- Consider converting to a different format if problems persist
Performance Issues:
- Large PDFs may require more memory
- Consider splitting large documents
- Enable logging to identify bottlenecks

Performance and Scaling

Performance Characteristics

Metric	Value	Notes
Processing Time	~30-45s	For 5 average-sized PDFs
Memory Usage	400-600MB	Peak usage during processing
CPU Usage	2 cores	Can be scaled based on workload
Model Size	<100MB	No large external models
Document Size	Up to 50MB	Per document
Batch Size	Up to 10	Documents per run

Scaling Considerations

Vertical Scaling:
- Increase CPU cores for faster processing
- Add more RAM for larger documents or batches
Horizontal Scaling:
- Process documents in parallel across multiple instances
- Use a message queue for job distribution
Optimization Tips:
- Enable caching for repeated documents
- Disable OCR if not needed with --no-ocr
- Process documents in smaller batches

Resource Requirements

Resource	Minimum	Recommended
CPU Cores	1	2+
RAM	1GB	2GB
Disk Space	100MB	1GB
OS	Linux/Windows/macOS	Linux
