Org tag generator?

Org tag generator?

[Christopher Howard]

Hi, I use org-set-tags-command a lot in an org document where I store links and notes to various subjects of interest to me. I was wondering if I could have Emacs auto-generate tag suggestions based on the content in the node being tagged. Like, if the node has words like "senator" or "lawmakers" it suggests ":politics:". The suggestions being trained from the other nodes and tags in the document.

This sounds kind of like what an LLM does but the requirements are much lighter, since it just needs to know how I have tagged all my other nodes, which is only a few thousand nodes.

Is there a project out there like this already for Emacs? Or a suggestion on a not too complicated way to tie the tagging functionality to some external software that does this sort of thing?

Well... sure it can work, somehow, as you know Emacs and Lisp can do
basically anything.

(defun generate-keywords-1 (s)
  (let* ((case-fold-search t)
	 (s (replace-regexp-in-string "[^[:word:]]" " " s))
	 (s (replace-regexp-in-string " +" " " s))
	 (s (replace-regexp-in-string "^[[:space:]]+" "" s))
	 (s (replace-regexp-in-string "[[:space:]]+$" "" s))
	 (s (split-string s))
	 (s (seq-uniq s))
	 (s (mapcar 'too-short s))
	 (s (delete nil s))
	 (s (string-join s ", ")))
    s))

(defun generate-keywords (string &optional from to)
  (interactive
   (if (use-region-p)
       (list nil (region-beginning) (region-end))
     (let ((bds (bounds-of-thing-at-point 'paragraph)))
       (list nil (car bds) (cdr bds)))))
  (let (workOnStringP inputStr outputStr)
    (setq workOnStringP (if string t nil))
    (setq inputStr (if workOnStringP string (buffer-substring-no-properties from to)))
    (setq outputStr (generate-keywords-1 inputStr))
    (if workOnStringP
	outputStr
      (save-excursion
	(delete-region from to)
	(goto-char from)
	(insert outputStr)))))

So now I use this function as:

(generate-keywords "This sounds kind of like what an LLM does but the requirements are much lighter, since it just needs to know how I have tagged all my other nodes, which is only a few thousand nodes.") ➜ "This, sounds, kind, like, what, does, requirements, much, lighter, since, just, needs, know, have, tagged, other, nodes, which, only, thousand"

Though that is not so specific. It would be better using Local LLM,
then you make it generate keywords:

(rcd-llm (concat "Generate only 3 major keywords for: " "Is there a project out there like this already for Emacs? Or a suggestion on a not too complicated way to tie the tagging functionality to some external software that does this sort of thing?"))

1. Emacs
2. Tagging
3. Integration

Thank you Jean, for the response. I haven't went over your code carefully yet, but it seems like there is something missing here that I want. I perhaps should have stated this more explicitly. I want the generated tags to be based on the software learning how I tagged previous nodes, not simply how it thinks those nodes should be tagged in general. E.g., ":emacs:integration:" maybe are tags that do summarize well the contents of a node for a general audience, but if I am likely to tag it as ":emacs_tricks:" then, ideally, those are the tags that it should recommend. This would be based on the words in other nodes that I have tagged as ":emacs_tricks:".

I have a system in my mind whereby I apply certain tags based on how I think about the data or plan to use the data. What I want is for the software to learn that system based on how I have applied it to previous nodes.

Is this what is happening in the code you provided?

I have just generated above tags by using query:

generate tags based on this text and return single words as tags
separated by colon in single line

and I have used free software model:

mixtral-8x7b-32768, Groq, https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/chat/completions

> Is this what is happening in the code you provided?

About that. 

There are many solutions, though I see it is in running the LLM. I
have small free software model from Alibaba under Apache 2.0 license,
named Qwen, or as file: QwQ-LCoT-3B-Instruct.Q4_K_M.gguf running
locally here on my computer with Nvidia RTX 1050 Ti 4 GB VRAM.

And it can work well when better instructed, though I got result
":sources:integration:"

There is possibility that you make list of your own tags, and then you
supply the list and get it back returned provided it is relevant to
the text.

Above are your words, though rewritten.

Yes, I can understand it well. I have 1806 tags and 157971 documents
and people tagged with various tags. Tags represent flexible
INTERSECTION. And INTERSECTION is very important to me, I use it very
often.

For example, I may search for: coffee,price and get those tagged with
coffee and price, Arabica, Robusta, Single Origin, etc. There are many
ways how I use tags.

I think it is better that you make your own function which is related
to your own specific tags. 

You make function in one file and you make data set in the other
file. Or same one.

I used that feature to link my Markdown website pages with specific
important links.

It can work this way.

(defvar my-tags '(
		  ;; following would tag with "emacs" and "editing" if
		  ;; it finds "emacs" or "editing" in the paragraph
		  ("emacs" . '("emacs" "editing"))
		  ;; if it finds emacs and tricks in paragraph it would receive following tags
		  ("tricks" . '("emacs" "tricks"))
		  ("my-other-tag" . '("my word" "next word"))
		  )) ;

That would be very deterministic. You could or should define how to
know that some section should be tagged, and then you define list of
tags, and conditions when such tags should be used.

I think that is good way to go and much simpler.

Above words were rewritten.

Yes, I think this approach summarize it well, though I didn't give too
much of clarity.

> This recommendation would be based on the words in other nodes that
> I've tagged as ":emacs_tricks:".

I think that is great idea.

Now I could give some conditions to each tag, as each of my tags can
be also tagged and have its description and properties. For example, I
also have number of tags, let us say:

TAG: toddler                        

I could extract synonyms by using local dictionary:

- tot
- baby
- preschooler
- child

and then relate it to "toddler" and then if any of such word is
mentioned let us say "more than once" in section, it could get a tag.

So I could make a function to verify if any of defined words is
mentioned more than once.

employee

 18     security                       

Similar

 19     encryption                     

I could here add various encryption terms, to relate it to the tag.

 22     graphviz                       

Various related words like dot, etc. graph, could be related to tag
graphviz

 33     surveillance                   

Various tags related could be added here.

 57     relationships                  

And so on.

That is basically more or less manual "machine learning". Once
prepared, the definition then serves to parse your  text and
understand which tags to propose.

I say to propose, as it may need human intervention. But it would be
so much faster.

I am regularly, for decades, doing heavy text processing, from 1999. I
have made directories and specialized search engines before it was
popular on the market, at that time it was quite interesting.

Let me know if you agree on this concept, and then let us make it.

Now you are recommending a system whereby I myself have to manual recognize and record all specific words that lead me to assign a specific tag. This works, in a sense, but does nothing to reduce my work load. There might be, for example, thousands of plant-related words that lead me to apply the tag :botany:. I don't want to have to figure out what those words are specifically and make a record of them. I just want to intuitively apply the tag :botany: and then the software figures out, after observing many nodes, that the words "rainforest" or "flower" or should generate the tag :botany:.
