#4121 Hazard Report Named Entities

#4121 Hazard Report Named Entities #4121  I have a directory of hazard reports in PDF format for which I want to create lists of named entities for each hazard report. A second pass would cross-check the hazard lists for commonality. That sounds like a classic Information Extraction (IE) pipeline. Dealing with PDFs adds a layer of "fun" (read: formatting headaches), but once you have the text cleaned up, the entity extraction and cross-referencing are very manageable. Here is a streamlined approach to building this workflow. Phase 1: Text Extraction & Normalization PDFs are notorious for messy layouts. For hazard reports, which often contain tables or diagrams, you need a robust parser. Tools: Use PyMuPDF (fitz) for speed or unstructured for high-quality layout detection. The Goal: Convert each PDF into a clean string or a structured JSON object. Phase 2: Named Entity Recognition (NER) You’ll want to extract specific categories like Chemicals , Equipment , Locations ...

#4120 Sketched Wave Patterns as Inputs to a Music Synthesizer

#4120 Sketched Wave Patterns as Inputs to a Music Synthesizer #4120  How might two sketches of wave patterns be used as input to a music synthesizer? Using sketches of wave patterns to drive a music synthesizer is a brilliant bridge between visual "making" and sound design. Given your interest in synthesizers like the Behringer MonoPoly and K-2 , you can approach this from two angles: literal waveform construction or control-voltage modulation. Here is how you can translate those visual sketches into audio: 1. Wavetable Synthesis (Literal Interpretation) If your sketches represent a single cycle of a wave (the "shape" of the sound), you can use them as the primary oscillator source. The Process: You can scan or photograph your sketches and use software like Wolfram Language (Mathematica) or specialized wavetable editors (like Serum or Vital) to convert the visual Y-axis data into audio samples. The Result: A sketch with sharp, jagged edges will produce a bright,...

#4119 Audit Out Brief Presentation #4119  Our SQA team just completed the inquiry and summarization phase of a software development process audit. The audit was performed across 7 software development teams: 2 Elements, a GFE project and 4 testing labs. The document levied was GP-10023 Gateway S&MA Requirements, Section 8 Software Safety and Software Assurance that includes 37 requirements. We have the results from the 7 teams, with counts for "compliant", "partially compliant" and "non-compliant', along with propose corrective actions for the partially- and non-compliant requirements. Provide a power point presentation template by which we can plug in the facts. This is a significant milestone for the Gateway S&MA audit. Given the complexity of tracking 37 requirements across seven distinct entities—ranging from core Elements to GFE and Labs—the presentation needs to balance high-level executive summaries with the granular data required for correc...

#4118 Technical Writing AI-Agent Critique Team Describe a technical writing AI-agent critique team I know an SQA who is working on an Out Brief presentation for a recently performed audit. The SQA has written a first draft in Power Point. This is to be presented to NASA S&MA management. Describe the AI-agent team to assist in this activity. Provide a Python application to take as input a text file version of the draft presentation, then apply the AI-agent team to collaborate on the presentation, both debating changes, and even providing an updated draft based on AI-agent consensus Can a power point presentation (.pptx) be input directly to Google Gemini for this purpose? Yes :: Would you like me to draft a checklist of "NASA-specific" red flags that the SQA should ask Gemini to look for once the file is uploaded? What about the S&MA Management perspective? What questions are they likely to ask and how can that help to update the presentation? Yes :: Would you like me ...
