  • Configuration Extraction: Parse YAML, TOML, INI, and properties files
  • API Spec Recognition: Extract OpenAPI/Swagger specifications

4. Multi-Label Domain Classification 🏷️

  • 15+ Knowledge Domains: Technology, Science, Business, Health, Education, and more
  • Multi-Label Support: Content can belong to multiple domains
  • Confidence Scoring: Probability scores for each domain assignment
  • Hierarchical Structure: Parent-child domain relationships
  • ML & Transformer Models: Hybrid approach for best accuracy

5. Transformer-Based Intent Recognition 🎯

  • Zero-Shot Classification: Using Facebook's BART model
  • Intent Types: Question, statement, command, TODO, request, discussion
  • Urgency Detection: Automatic urgency level assessment
  • Action Item Extraction: Find TODOs, deadlines, and action items
  • Sentiment Analysis: Optional sentiment scoring

πŸ”„ Migration Guide

From v2.8.0 to v2.8.1

  1. Update Dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
  2. Download SpaCy Models (optional for enhanced features):

    python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
    # For transformer support (recommended):
    python -m spacy download en_core_web_trf
  3. No Database Changes: This release adds no new database tables

  4. API Compatibility: All existing endpoints remain unchanged

Using New Features

Advanced Analysis Example:

# Comprehensive content analysis
response = requests.post(
    "http://localhost:8000/analysis/analyze",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={
        "content": "Your text content here...",
        "include_topics": True,
        "include_structure": True,
        "include_domain": True,
        "advanced_features": True
    }
)

Graph Building Example:

# Build relationship graph
response = requests.post(
    "http://localhost:8000/graph/build",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={
        "memory_ids": ["id1", "id2", "id3"],
        "min_confidence": 0.5,
        "enable_clustering": True
