# Reductive Operations
|
||
|
||
These operations condense extensive text to produce a more concise output, with the input typically exceeding the output in size.
|
||
|
||
- **Summarization**: Condense information using lists, notes, or executive summaries.
|
||
- **Distillation**: Filter out extraneous details to highlight core principles or facts.
|
||
- **Extraction**: Isolate and retrieve targeted information, such as answering questions, listing names, or extracting dates.
|
||
- **Characterizing**: Provide a synopsis of the text's content or its subject matter.
|
||
- **Analyzing**: Detect patterns or assess the text against a specific framework, such as structural or rhetorical analysis.
|
||
- **Evaluation**: Assess the content by measuring, grading, or judging its quality or ethics.
|
||
- **Critiquing**: Offer constructive feedback based on the text's context, suggesting areas for improvement.
|
||
|
||
# Generative Operations
|
||
|
||
These operations create substantial text from minimal instructions or data, where the input is smaller than the output.
|
||
|
||
- **Drafting**: Craft a preliminary version of a document, which can include code, fiction, legal texts, scientific articles, or stories.
|
||
- **Planning**: Develop plans based on given parameters, outlining actions, projects, goals, missions, limitations, and context.
|
||
- **Brainstorming**: Employ imagination to enumerate possibilities, facilitating ideation, exploration, problem-solving, and hypothesis formation.
|
||
- **Amplification**: Elaborate on a concept, expanding and delving deeper into the subject matter.
|
||
|
||
# Transformation Operations
|
||
|
||
These operations alter the format of the input without significantly changing its size or meaning.
|
||
|
||
- **Reformatting**: Modify only the presentation form, such as converting prose to a screenplay or XML to JSON.
|
||
- **Refactoring**: Enhance efficiency while conveying the same message in a different manner.
|
||
- **Language Change**: Translate content across different languages or programming languages, e.g., from English to Russian or C++ to Python.
|
||
- **Restructuring**: Reorganize content to improve logical flow, which may involve reordering or modifying the structure.
|
||
- **Modification**: Edit the text to alter its intention, adjusting tone, formality, diplomacy, or style.
|
||
- **Clarification**: Elucidate content to increase understanding, embellishing or articulating more clearly.
|
||
|
||
# Bloom’s Taxonomy
|
||
|
||
This taxonomy provides a hierarchical framework for categorizing educational objectives by increasing complexity and specificity.
|
||
|
||
- **Remembering**: Retrieve and recognize key information.
|
||
- Engage in the retrieval and recitation of facts and concepts.
|
||
- **Understanding**: Comprehend and interpret subject matter.
|
||
- Associate terms with their meanings and explanations.
|
||
- **Applying**: Employ knowledge in various contexts.
|
||
- Utilize information practically, demonstrating its functional utility.
|
||
- **Analyzing**: Examine and dissect information to understand its structure.
|
||
- Identify relationships and interconnections between concepts.
|
||
- **Evaluating**: Assess and critique ideas or methods.
|
||
- Provide justification for decisions or actions, including explication and detailed analysis.
