Data Visualization, PDFs and AI

Session content

Code and data

Please download these files:

• Visualization data
• PDF data
• More PDFs for research

If AnythingLLM is not working well for you because your data is in tables and charts, try out this ColiPali notebook I made for you. It runs in the cloud on Google Colab. It isn’t as simple as AnythingLLM, but it shows you what is possible! Note that it is good with English documents but doesn’t seem very good with Japanese documents.
