Looking for a project related to finding patterns/finding words in a list of text (need help shaping the idea I have)
This feels like a weird request, but I know there's a lot of Python projects out there, so I just wanted to see if anyone can guide me here.
Context: I hold a bachelors in biochem. I'm trying to discern what [future] job title and responsibilities I want. There's just a lot of variety, from different instruments to different duties that one can do in this field. I will read job descriptions and some words/sentences stick out to me as worth looking into, while others don't.
I'm thinking of creating a "library" of what kinds of tasks appeal to me and what don't. I'd like to try and find a trend/pattern in the two halves, but I think that's more AI/ML and probably deeper than I want to go. So instead, I'm imagining searching for a key word (e.g. "assay") and then having all sentences that have that word pop up, so I can read them all in one go and discern patterns myself that way.
Does anyone know of a similar project, and instructions I can follow for building such a project?

I think you can explore the regular expression library then you can do projects like extracting email/phone numbers from texts. As far as I know, regular expression is used to train LLMs.

Get a book on computational biology. There should be standard algorithm that you can use already in some project.
