    • Chapter detection using regex patterns + spaCy validation
    • Dialogue/narrative preservation
    • Whitespace normalization

    • Threshold: Confidence ≥ 0.7 for genre assignments
    • Fiction/Non-fiction separation using predefined labels

Quality Control

  • Minimum text length: 1,000 characters
  • spaCy narrative validation
  • Manual spot-checking of samples
