## 1. ChunkViz - Chunking Visualization Tool
### Overview
ChunkViz is a specialized tool for visualizing how different chunking strategies behave with various parameters.
### Installation and Setup
```bash
# Clone ChunkViz repository
git clone https://github.com/gkamradt/ChunkViz.git
cd ChunkViz
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### Basic Usage
```python
from chunkviz import visualize_chunking
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Sample text
sample_text = """
Natural language processing has evolved significantly over the past decade.
Modern transformer models have revolutionized how we approach text understanding.
These models use attention mechanisms to process input text efficiently.
The attention mechanism allows models to focus on relevant input parts.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) combines LLMs with external knowledge.
This approach enables models to access current information beyond training data.
RAG systems typically have three main components: retriever, knowledge base, generator.
The retriever finds relevant documents based on user queries.
The generator uses retrieved documents to produce informed responses.

## 4. Command Line Usage Examples
### Basic Visualization
```python
# Example 1: Basic ChunkViz usage
from chunkviz.advanced import AdvancedChunkViz
text = "Your long document text here..."
viz = AdvancedChunkViz()
# Compare multiple strategies
strategies = [
{"name": "Small Chunks", "chunk_size": 100, "overlap": 0},
{"name": "Medium Chunks", "chunk_size": 250, "overlap": 0},
{"name": "Large Chunks", "chunk_size": 500, "overlap": 0},
{"name": "With Overlap", "chunk_size": 250, "overlap": 20}
]
viz.visualize_multiple_strategies(text, strategies, save_path="chunking_comparison.png")
# Analyze overlap effects
viz.visualize_overlap_effects(text, 250, [0, 10, 20, 30], save_path="overlap_analysis.png")
```
### Interactive Dashboard
```python
# Example 2: Interactive dashboard
from chunkviz.dashboard import InteractiveChunkingDashboard
dashboard = InteractiveChunkingDashboard()
# Create comprehensive analysis
strategies = [
{"name": "Fixed-100", "chunk_size": 100, "overlap": 0},
{"name": "Fixed-250", "chunk_size": 250, "overlap": 0},
{"name": "Semantic", "method": "semantic"}
]
fig = dashboard.create_strategy_comparison_dashboard(text, strategies)
fig.show()
# Create size distribution comparison
fig = dashboard.compare_chunk_size_distributions(text, [100, 200, 300, 400, 500])
fig.show()
```
### Streamlit Web Application
```python
# Example 3: Run Streamlit dashboard
# Save as app.py and run: streamlit run app.py
from chunkviz.streamlit_app import StreamlitChunkingDashboard
dashboard = StreamlitChunkingDashboard()
dashboard.run()
```
These visualization and evaluation tools provide comprehensive capabilities for analyzing, comparing, and optimizing chunking strategies across different use cases and requirements.No comments yet. Be the first to comment!
