This code provides easy-to-use functions for cleaning text, removing punctuation, counting word frequencies, and summarizing strings — perfect for beginners.
def clean_text(text: str) -> str:
"""Clean and normalize a text string."""
text = text.strip()
text = text.replace(" ", " ")
text = text.capitalize()
text = text.replace(".", ".")

…How to Summarize Old Conversation Turns in Python
Compress old conversation turns into a brief summary while keeping recent turns intact for LLM context management.
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
def summarize_old_turns(conversation, max_turns=5):
"""Compress turns older than max_turns into a brief summary."""
if len(conversation) <= max_turns:
return conversation, ""
old_turns = conversation[:-max_turns]
recent_turns = conversation[-max_turns…How to compute ROUGE recall in Python
Compute ROUGE recall by counting token overlap between a reference and candidate summary with pure Python.
def rouge_recall(reference, candidate):
ref_tokens = reference.lower().split()
cand_tokens = candidate.lower().split()
ref_counts = {}
for token in ref_tokens:
ref_counts[token] = ref_counts.get(token, 0) + 1
cand_counts = {}
for token in cand_tokens:
cand_counts[token] = cand…Browse by section
