  -d "question=Analyze this essay comprehensively"

Configuration Options

The unlimited text processing system can be configured through the grader configuration:

grader_config = {
    'enable_chunking': True,              # Enable chunking for unlimited text
    'max_chunk_tokens': 8000,             # Max tokens per chunk (increased for unlimited)
    'enable_granular_feedback': True,     # Enable line-by-line analysis
    'chunk_overlap_tokens': 200,          # Overlap between chunks for context
    'max_retries_per_chunk': 2,           # Retry attempts per chunk
    'aggregate_scores': True,             # Aggregate scores across chunks
    'warn_on_truncation': False,          # No truncation warnings for unlimited
    'log_missing_categories': True        # Log any missing feedback categories
}

Processing Algorithm

1. Text Preprocessing

• Clean and normalize text
• Remove problematic characters
• Preserve line structure

2. Line-Aware Chunking

• Split text into lines
• Create chunks that respect line boundaries
• Maintain context with overlap between chunks
• Optimize chunk size for token limits

3. Line-by-Line Analysis

• Process each line individually
• Apply comprehensive analysis for 8 categories
• Generate specific feedback and suggestions
• Score each line independently

4. Aggregation and Summary

• Aggregate scores across all lines
• Generate overall statistics
• Create comprehensive recommendations
• Compile detailed summary

5. PDF Generation

• Create detailed PDF report
• Include line-by-line analysis
• Show overall statistics
• Provide actionable recommendations

Performance Characteristics

Processing Speed

• Small texts (< 1000 words): ~30-60 seconds
• Medium texts (1000-5000 words): ~2-5 minutes
• Large texts (5000+ words): ~5-15 minutes
• Very large texts (10,000+ words): ~10-30 minutes

Memory Usage

• Efficient chunking: Processes in manageable chunks
• Streaming approach: Doesn't load entire text into memory
• Garbage collection: Cleans up processed chunks

Scalability

• Horizontal scaling: Can be deployed across multiple instances
• Load balancing: Distributes processing across servers
• Queue management: Handles multiple concurrent requests

Error Handling

Graceful Degradation

• Chunk failures: Continue processing other chunks
• API errors: Retry with exponential backoff
• Memory issues: Reduce chunk size automatically
• Timeout handling: Return partial results if needed

Error Reporting

• Detailed error messages: Specific error descriptions
• Error categorization: Different types of errors
• Recovery suggestions: How to resolve issues
• Partial results: Return what was successfully processed

Testing

Test Script

Use the provided test script to verify functionality:

python test_unlimited_analysis.py

Test Cases

1. Short text: Verify basic functionality
2. Medium text: Test chunking and aggregation
3. Long text: Test performance and memory usage
4. Very long text: Test unlimited processing capability
5. Edge cases: Empty text, single line, special characters

Best Practices

For Developers

1. Use appropriate timeouts: Set reasonable timeouts for large texts
2. Handle partial results: Process what's available if errors occur
3. Monitor performance: Track processing time and memory usage
4. Implement caching: Cache results for repeated analysis

For Users

1. Provide clear questions: Specific questions yield better analysis
2. Use proper formatting: Clean text formatting improves analysis
3. Be patient: Large texts take time to process thoroughly
4. Review recommendations: Focus on actionable improvement suggestions

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Timeout errors

   • Increase timeout settings
   • Reduce text size for testing
   • Check server performance

2. Memory errors

   • Reduce chunk size in configuration
   • Process text in smaller sections
   • Monitor server resources

3. API errors

   • Check API key validity
   • Verify endpoint availability
   • Review error logs

4. PDF generation errors

   • Check file permissions
   • Verify output directory exists
   • Review PDF library installation

Debug Information

Enable enhanced logging for troubleshooting:

grader_config = {
    'enable_enhanced_logging': True,
    'log_missing_categories': True,
    'warn_on_truncation': True
}

Future Enhancements

Planned Features

1. Real-time processing: Stream results as they're processed
2. Batch processing: Handle multiple essays simultaneously
3. Custom categories: User-defined analysis categories
4. Advanced scoring: Machine learning-based scoring
5. Interactive feedback: Real-time feedback during writing

Performance Improvements

1. Parallel processing: Process chunks in parallel
2. Caching system: Cache common analysis patterns
3. Optimized models: Use more efficient AI models
4. CDN integration: Faster PDF delivery
