Maybe this will help, you remind me about one project I had, is from the old course:

And here is an introduction:
In the world of text analysis and information retrieval, understanding the importance of words within documents is crucial. One widely used method to achieve this is Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF). TF-IDF is a statistical measure that helps identify the significance of words in a document relative to a collection of documents (corpus). It is commonly used in search engines, text mining, and various natural language processing (NLP) applications.
Term Frequency (TF)
Term Frequency (TF) measures how often a word appears in a document. It helps to understand the importance of a word within that particular document. Common words in the document get higher scores. For example, if the word “data” appears frequently in a document, its term frequency will be high, indicating that it is an important term in that document.
Inverse Document Frequency (IDF)
Inverse Document Frequency (IDF) measures how important a word is across multiple documents. It gives lower scores to words that appear in many documents (like “the” or “and”) and higher scores to words that are more unique to a few documents. This helps to reduce the weight of common words and emphasize unique ones. For instance, if the word “analysis” appears in only a few documents, it will have a high IDF score, highlighting its uniqueness.
TF-IDF
TF-IDF combines TF and IDF to find words that are important in a specific document but not too common in other documents. This helps to highlight the key terms that uniquely characterize the content of that document. By multiplying the term frequency by the inverse document frequency, TF-IDF balances the local importance of a term with its global uniqueness.
Practical Use
Imagine you have several documents and you want to find the most relevant words for each document. TF-IDF helps by scoring each word based on its importance in a document and its uniqueness across all documents. This way, you can identify the words that best represent the content of each document. For example, in a set of scientific papers, TF-IDF might highlight terms like “neural networks” or “quantum computing” as important, distinguishing them from common words like “experiment” or “results.”
Applications
- Search Engines: To rank documents by how relevant they are to a user’s query. When you search for “machine learning,” documents where this term is both frequent and unique will rank higher.
- Text Analysis: To extract key terms and features from documents for further analysis. This can help in summarizing articles or identifying main topics.
- Recommendation Systems: To suggest documents or articles based on important terms. For instance, a news recommendation system might use TF-IDF to suggest articles that share key terms with articles a user has read previously.
By using TF-IDF, we can better understand and utilize the significance of words within documents, making it a powerful tool for analyzing and processing large amounts of textual data.
And you have to create a tool to enhance your AI with your information from your computer and you will always use latest updated information with that tool when you ask him to get some information with that tool. Is a little bit complex but is possible.
