👉 Excerpt engineering is a method used in natural language processing (NLP) to extract and manipulate specific, relevant portions of text from larger documents or conversations. This technique involves identifying key sentences, phrases, or segments that capture the essence of the content while discarding less important information. By selectively extracting these excerpts, engineers and researchers can create concise summaries, highlight critical insights, or tailor responses for specific contexts, such as in chatbots, information retrieval systems, or content analysis tools. This process enhances the efficiency and relevance of text-based interactions by focusing on the most pertinent data points.
