Okay, so I wanted to mess around with this thing called “sk facts” that I heard about. It sounded kinda cool, like a way to get quick, summarized info. Here’s how it went down.
First Steps: Finding It
First, I needed to find this ‘sk facts’. I remembered hearing something about a “Semantic Kernel”, so I figured that was a good place to start my search. I ended up finding something on a page that mentioned “Semantic Kernel connectors” and “fact extraction”. It was all a bit over my head at first, to be honest.
Getting My Hands Dirty: Installation
I’m more of a hands-on learner, so I decided to just jump in and try to install this thing. I found something about a “NuGet package” – I’ve used those before with other projects. I used the package manager in my coding program to install . That seemed like the right one.
Coding It Up: Trial and Error
Now for the fun part – writing some code! I found some example code online, but it wasn’t exactly what I needed. So, I kinda mashed it together with some other stuff I found. There was a lot of trial and error, I’m not gonna lie. I’m still pretty new to this whole “Semantic Kernel” thing.
Here’s the basic idea of what I did:
- Created a Kernel: I think this is like the main brain of the whole operation.
- Added a Text Memory Connector: This part was supposed to connect to something called “Pinecone”, which I guess is where the facts are stored?
- Made a Semantic Function: Okay, this was the tricky part. I had to write a little prompt that would tell the Kernel what kind of facts I wanted. I found something that worked:
“What key facts can be found about” in a text.
- Ran the Thing: I finally got to run my code and see if it worked! I gave it some text to analyze, and…
The Results: It Worked! (Mostly)
It actually worked! It spit out a bunch of facts related to the text I gave it. It wasn’t perfect, and some of the facts were a little weird, but it definitely did something. I think I need to play around with the prompt a bit more to get better results.
Here’s what I learned:
- This “sk facts” thing is pretty powerful, even if I don’t fully understand it yet.
- There’s a LOT of documentation out there, but it can be a bit overwhelming.
- Sometimes you just gotta try things and see what happens.
I’m definitely going to keep messing with this. I think it could be really useful for summarizing articles, research papers, or even just random stuff I find online. Next time, I want to try connecting it to a different data source and see if I can get even more interesting facts.
