I can see there's an error in the demo.py script when trying to access the 'inverted_index' key from the structure. Let me investigate the code to understand what's happening.

Now let me check the server.py file to understand what the /index/structure endpoint actually returns:

Let me check the bm25_engine.py file to see what the get_index_info() method returns:

Let me check the get_index_structure() method in the InvertedIndex class:

Now I understand the issue! memory:8629917 The server returns the index structure in a nested format, but the demo.py script is trying to access it incorrectly. The server returns:

{
    'statistics': {...},
    'structure': {
        'inverted_index': {...},
        'document_info': {...}
    },
    'bm25_params': {...}
}

But the demo.py is trying to access structure['inverted_index'] directly instead of structure['structure']['inverted_index']. Let me fix this:

🤖 Cursor Assistant

Perfect! I've fixed the issue in the demo.py file. The problem was that the server's /index/structure endpoint returns a nested structure where the actual index information is under a 'structure' key, but the demo script was trying to access it directly.

The fix properly handles the nested structure:

• The response contains {'statistics': {...}, 'structure': {...}, 'bm25_params': {...}}
• The inverted index is actually at data['structure']['inverted_index'], not data['inverted_index']
• I've also added safe access with .get() methods to handle missing keys gracefully

Now you can run the demo again:

Excellent! The demo is now working perfectly. The issue has been fixed successfully. The problem was that the server's /index/structure endpoint returns a nested JSON structure, but the demo script was trying to access the fields at the wrong level.

The server returns:

{
    "statistics": {...},
    "structure": {
        "inverted_index": {...},
        "document_info": {...}
    },
    "bm25_params": {...}
}

The fix properly navigates the nested structure and adds safe access patterns with .get() methods to handle missing keys gracefully. The demo now successfully:

1. Indexes 10 sample documents covering topics like Python, Machine Learning, NLP, databases, etc.
2. Displays index statistics showing term frequencies and document counts
3. Visualizes the index structure including BM25 parameters, inverted index samples, and document information
4. Performs various searches demonstrating the BM25 ranking algorithm with different queries
5. Tests document retrieval by fetching specific documents by ID

The sparse embedding (BM25) search engine is working as expected, providing educational insights into how inverted indices and text search algorithms work!
