Module tf.convert.walker

Walker

You can convert a dataset to TF by writing a function that walks through it.

That function must trigger a sequence of actions when reading the data. These actions drive TF to build a valid TF dataset. Many checks will be performed.

to and from MQL

If your source is MQL, you are even better off: TF has a module to import from MQL and to export to MQL. See importMQL() and exportMQL().

Set up

Here is a schematic set up of such a conversion program.

from tf.fabric import Fabric
from tf.convert.walker import CV

TF = Fabric(locations=OUT_DIR)
cv = CV(TF)

def director(cv):
  # your code to unwrap your source data and trigger
  # the generation of TF nodes, edges and features

slotType = 'word'  # or whatever you choose
otext = {  # dictionary of config data for sections and text formats
    ...
}
generic = {  # dictionary of metadata meant for all features
    ...
}
intFeatures = {  # set of integer valued feature names
    ...
}
featureMeta = {  # per feature dictionaries with metadata
   ...
}

good = cv.walk(
    director,
    slotType,
    otext=otext,
    generic=generic,
    intFeatures=intFeatures,
    featureMeta=featureMeta,
    warn=True,
    force=False,
)

if good:
  ... load the new TF data ...

See CV.walk().

Walking

When you walk through the input data source, you'll encounter things that have to become slots, non-slot nodes, edges and features in the new data set.

You issue these things by means of an action method from cv, such as cv.slot() or cv.node(nodeType).

When your action creates slots or non slot nodes, TF will return you a reference to that node, that you can use later for more actions related to that node.

curPara = cv.node('para')

To add features to nodes, use a cv.feature() action. It will apply to a node passed as argument.

To add features to edges, issue a cv.edge() action. It will require two node arguments: the from node and the to node.

There is always a set of current embedder nodes. When you create a slot node

curWord = cv.slot()

then TF will link all current embedder nodes to the resulting slot.

There are actions to add nodes to the set of embedder nodes, to remove them from it, and to add them again.

If your data is organized in such a way that you see the slots in a different order than the intended order, you can pass a key value to the slot, like so

curWord = cv.slot(key=wordNumber)

After the walk is completed, the slots will be sorted by their keys, while keeping all feature assignments to them intact. All nodes will be linked to the same slots after sorting, and all edges that start from or arrive at slots will do that after the sorting.

For an example, see lowfat.py.

Dynamic Metadata

When the director runs, you may have already specified all your feature metadata, including the value types.

But if some of that information is dependent on what you encounter in the data, you can do two things:

(A) Run a preliminary pass over the data and gather the required information, before running the director.

(B) Update the metadata later on by issuing cv.meta() actions from within your director, see below.

In doing this, you can remove the metadata from unused features, but you can also add metadata to features that have not got them yet.

If the set of possible features is not known on beforehand, you can ask for the list of all feature names by means of cv.features().

Action methods

The cv class contains methods that are responsible for particular actions that steer the graph building:

# Walker

You can convert a dataset to TF by writing a function that walks through it.

That function must trigger a sequence of actions when reading the data.
These actions drive TF to build a valid TF dataset.
Many checks will be performed.

!!! hint "to and from MQL"
    If your source is MQL, you are even better off: TF has a
    module to import from MQL and to export to MQL.
    See `tf.convert.mql.importMQL` and `tf.convert.mql.exportMQL`.

## Set up

Here is a schematic set up of such a conversion program.

``` python
from tf.fabric import Fabric
from tf.convert.walker import CV

TF = Fabric(locations=OUT_DIR)
cv = CV(TF)

def director(cv):
  # your code to unwrap your source data and trigger
  # the generation of TF nodes, edges and features

    director,

    otext=otext,
    generic=generic,
    intFeatures=intFeatures,
    featureMeta=featureMeta,
    warn=True,
    force=False,
)

if good:
  ... load the new TF data ...
```

See `tf.convert.walker.CV.walk`.

## Walking

When you walk through the input data source, you'll encounter things
that have to become slots, non-slot nodes, edges and features in the new data set.

You issue these things by means of an *action method* from `cv`, such as
`cv.slot()` or `cv.node(nodeType)`.

When your action creates slots or non slot nodes,
TF will return you a reference to that node,
that you can use later for more actions related to that node.

``` python
curPara = cv.node('para')
```

To add features to nodes, use a `cv.feature()` action.
It will apply to a node passed as argument.

To add features to edges, issue a `cv.edge()` action.
It will require two node arguments: the *from* node and the *to* node.

There is always a set of current *embedder nodes*.
When you create a slot node

``` python
curWord = cv.slot()
```

then TF will link all current embedder nodes to the resulting slot.

There are actions to add nodes to the set of embedder nodes,
to remove them from it,
and to add them again.

If your data is organized in such a way that you see the slots in a different
order than the intended order, you can pass a key value to the slot, like so

``` python
curWord = cv.slot(key=wordNumber)
```

After the walk is completed, the slots will be sorted by their keys, while keeping
all feature assignments to them intact. All nodes will be linked to the same slots
after sorting, and all edges that start from or arrive at slots will do that after
the sorting.

For an example, see
[`lowfat.py`](https://github.com/ETCBC/nestle1904/blob/master/programs/lowfat.py).

## Dynamic Metadata

When the director runs, you may have already specified all your feature
metadata, including the value types.

But if some of that information is dependent on what you encounter in the
data, you can do two things:

(A) Run a preliminary pass over the data and gather the required information,
before running the director.

(B) Update the metadata later on
by issuing `cv.meta()` actions from within your director, see below.

In doing this, you can remove the metadata from unused features,
but you can also add metadata to features that have not got them yet.

If the set of possible features is not known on beforehand,
you can ask for the list of all feature names by means of
`cv.features()`.

## Action methods

The `cv` class contains methods that are responsible for particular *actions*
that steer the graph building:

*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.slot`
*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.node`
*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.terminate`
*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.resume`
*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.link`
*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.linked`
*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.feature`
*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.features`
*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.edge`
*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.meta`
*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.occurs`
*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.active`
*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.activeNodes`
*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.activeTypes`
*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.get` and `cv.get(feature, nf, nt)`
*   `tf.convert.walker.CV.stop`

        The `director` function should unravel the source.
        You have to program the `director`, which takes one argument: `cv`.
        From the `cv` you can use a few standard actions that instruct TF
        to build a graph.

        This function will check whether the metadata makes sense and is minimally
        complete.

        During node creation the section structure will be watched,
        and you will be warned if irregularities occur.

        After the creation of the feature data, some extra checks will be performed
        to see whether the metadata matches the data and vice versa.

        If the slots need to be sorted by their keys, it will happen at this point,
        and the generated features will be adapted to the sorted slots.

        The new feature data will be written to the output directory of the
        underlying TF object.  In fact, the rules are exactly the same as for
        `tf.fabric.Fabric.save`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        slotType: string
            The node type that acts as the type of the slots in the data set.

        oText: dict
            The configuration information to be stored in the `otext` feature
            (see `tf.core.text`):

            *   section types
            *   section features
            *   structure types
            *   structure features
            *   text formats

        generic: dict
            Metadata that will be written into the header of all generated TF features.

            You can make changes to this later on, dynamically in your director.

        intFeatures: iterable
            The set of features that have integer values only.

            You can make changes to this later on, dynamically in your director.

        featureMeta: dict of dict
            For each node or edge feature descriptive metadata can be supplied.

            You can make changes to this later on, dynamically in your director.

        warn: boolean, optional True
            This regulates the response to warnings:

            `True` (default): stop after warnings (as if they are errors);

            `False` continue after warnings but do show them;

            `None` suppress all warnings.

        force: boolean, optional False
            This forces the process to continue after errors.
            Your TF set might not be valid.
            Yet this can be useful during testing, when you know
            that not everything is OK, but you want to check some results.
            Especially when dealing with large datasets, you might want to test
            with little pieces. But then you get a kind of non-fatal errors that
            stand in the way of testing. For those cases: `force=True`.

        generateTf: boolean, optional True
            You can pass `False` here to suppress the actual writing of TF data.
            In that way you can dry-run the director to check for errors and warnings

        director: function
            An ordinary function that takes one argument, the `cv` object, and
            should not deliver anything.

            Writing this function is the main job to do when you want to convert a data source
            to TF.

        """Asks a director function to walk through source data and receives its actions.

        The `director` function should unravel the source.
        You have to program the `director`, which takes one argument: `cv`.
        From the `cv` you can use a few standard actions that instruct TF
        to build a graph.

        This function will check whether the metadata makes sense and is minimally
        complete.

        During node creation the section structure will be watched,
        and you will be warned if irregularities occur.

        After the creation of the feature data, some extra checks will be performed
        to see whether the metadata matches the data and vice versa.

        If the slots need to be sorted by their keys, it will happen at this point,
        and the generated features will be adapted to the sorted slots.

        The new feature data will be written to the output directory of the
        underlying TF object.  In fact, the rules are exactly the same as for
        `tf.fabric.Fabric.save`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        slotType: string
            The node type that acts as the type of the slots in the data set.

        oText: dict
            The configuration information to be stored in the `otext` feature
            (see `tf.core.text`):

            *   section types
            *   section features
            *   structure types
            *   structure features
            *   text formats

        generic: dict
            Metadata that will be written into the header of all generated TF features.

            You can make changes to this later on, dynamically in your director.

        intFeatures: iterable
            The set of features that have integer values only.

            You can make changes to this later on, dynamically in your director.

        featureMeta: dict of dict
            For each node or edge feature descriptive metadata can be supplied.

            You can make changes to this later on, dynamically in your director.

        warn: boolean, optional True
            This regulates the response to warnings:

            `True` (default): stop after warnings (as if they are errors);

            `False` continue after warnings but do show them;

            `None` suppress all warnings.

        force: boolean, optional False
            This forces the process to continue after errors.
            Your TF set might not be valid.
            Yet this can be useful during testing, when you know
            that not everything is OK, but you want to check some results.
            Especially when dealing with large datasets, you might want to test
            with little pieces. But then you get a kind of non-fatal errors that
            stand in the way of testing. For those cases: `force=True`.

        generateTf: boolean, optional True
            You can pass `False` here to suppress the actual writing of TF data.
            In that way you can dry-run the director to check for errors and warnings

        director: function
            An ordinary function that takes one argument, the `cv` object, and
            should not deliver anything.

            Writing this function is the main job to do when you want to convert a data source
            to TF.

            See `tf.convert.walker` for more details.

            If left out, the node is left as an embedding node and

        Sometimes the automatic linking of slots to nodes is not sufficient.

        This happens when you feel the need to construct a node retro-actively,

        If you construct non-slot nodes without linking them to slots,
        they will be removed when TF validates the collective result
        of the action methods.

        If you want to prevent that, you can insert an extra slot, but in order
        to do so, you have to detect that a node is still unlinked.

Methods

def active(self, node)

Returns whether a node is currently active.

Active nodes are the nodes in the set of current embedders.

isActive = cv.active(n)

If you construct your nodes in a very dynamic way, it might be hard to keep track for each node whether it has been created, terminated, or resumed, in other words, whether it is active or not.

This action is provides a direct and precise way to know whether a node is active.

Parameters

node : tuple
A node reference, obtained by one of the actions slot or node.

Returns

boolean

def node(self, nType, slots=None)

Makes a non-slot node and return the handle to it in n.

n = cv.node(nodeType)

You have to pass its node type, i.e. a string. Think of sentence, paragraph, phrase, word, sign, whatever.

There are two modes for this function:

  • Auto: (slots=None): Non slot nodes will be automatically added to the set of embedders.
  • Explicit: (slots=iterable): The slots in iterable will be assigned to this node and nothing else. The node will not be added to the set of embedders. Put otherwise: the node will be terminated after construction. However: you could resume it later to add other slots.

Remember that you can add features to the node by later

cv.feature(n, key=value, ...)

calls.

Parameters

nType : string
A node type, not the slot type
slots : iterable of int, optional None
The slots to assign to this node. If left out, the node is left as an embedding node and subsequent slots will be added to it automatically. All slots in the iterable must have been generated before by means of the cv.slot() action.

Returns

node reference or None
If an error occurred, None is returned. The node reference consists of a node type and a sequence number, but normally you do not have to dig these out. Just pass the tuple as a whole to actions that require a node argument.

def walk(self, director, slotType, otext={}, generic={}, intFeatures=set(), featureMeta={}, warn=True, generateTf=True, force=False)

Asks a director function to walk through source data and receives its actions.

The director function should unravel the source. You have to program the director, which takes one argument: cv. From the cv you can use a few standard actions that instruct TF to build a graph.

This function will check whether the metadata makes sense and is minimally complete.

During node creation the section structure will be watched, and you will be warned if irregularities occur.

After the creation of the feature data, some extra checks will be performed to see whether the metadata matches the data and vice versa.

If the slots need to be sorted by their keys, it will happen at this point, and the generated features will be adapted to the sorted slots.

The new feature data will be written to the output directory of the underlying TF object. In fact, the rules are exactly the same as for FabricCore.save().

Parameters

slotType : string
The node type that acts as the type of the slots in the data set.
oText : dict

The configuration information to be stored in the otext feature (see tf.core.text):

  • section types
  • section features
  • structure types
  • structure features
  • text formats
generic : dict

Metadata that will be written into the header of all generated TF features.

You can make changes to this later on, dynamically in your director.

intFeatures : iterable

The set of features that have integer values only.

You can make changes to this later on, dynamically in your director.

featureMeta : dict of dict

For each node or edge feature descriptive metadata can be supplied.

You can make changes to this later on, dynamically in your director.

warn : boolean, optional True

This regulates the response to warnings:

True (default): stop after warnings (as if they are errors);

False continue after warnings but do show them;

None suppress all warnings.

force : boolean, optional False
This forces the process to continue after errors. Your TF set might not be valid. Yet this can be useful during testing, when you know that not everything is OK, but you want to check some results. Especially when dealing with large datasets, you might want to test with little pieces. But then you get a kind of non-fatal errors that stand in the way of testing. For those cases: force=True.
generateTf : boolean, optional True
You can pass False here to suppress the actual writing of TF data. In that way you can dry-run the director to check for errors and warnings
director : function

An ordinary function that takes one argument, the cv object, and should not deliver anything.

Writing this function is the main job to do when you want to convert a data source to TF.

See tf.convert.walker for more details.

boolean

    """Asks a director function to walk through source data and receives its actions.

    The `director` function should unravel the source.
    You have to program the `director`, which takes one argument: `cv`.
    From the `cv` you can use a few standard actions that instruct TF
    to build a graph.

    This function will check whether the metadata makes sense and is minimally
    complete.

    During node creation the section structure will be watched,
    and you will be warned if irregularities occur.

    After the creation of the feature data, some extra checks will be performed
    to see whether the metadata matches the data and vice versa.

    If the slots need to be sorted by their keys, it will happen at this point,
    and the generated features will be adapted to the sorted slots.

    The new feature data will be written to the output directory of the
    underlying TF object.  In fact, the rules are exactly the same as for
    `tf.fabric.Fabric.save`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    slotType: string
        The node type that acts as the type of the slots in the data set.

    oText: dict
        The configuration information to be stored in the `otext` feature
        (see `tf.core.text`):

        *   section types
        *   section features
        *   structure types
        *   structure features
        *   text formats

    generic: dict
        Metadata that will be written into the header of all generated TF features.

        You can make changes to this later on, dynamically in your director.

    intFeatures: iterable
        The set of features that have integer values only.

        You can make changes to this later on, dynamically in your director.

    featureMeta: dict of dict
        For each node or edge feature descriptive metadata can be supplied.

        You can make changes to this later on, dynamically in your director.

    warn: boolean, optional True
        This regulates the response to warnings:

        `True` (default): stop after warnings (as if they are errors);

        `False` continue after warnings but do show them;

        `None` suppress all warnings.

    force: boolean, optional False
        This forces the process to continue after errors.
        Your TF set might not be valid.
        Yet this can be useful during testing, when you know
        that not everything is OK, but you want to check some results.
        Especially when dealing with large datasets, you might want to test
        with little pieces. But then you get a kind of non-fatal errors that
        stand in the way of testing. For those cases: `force=True`.

    generateTf: boolean, optional True
        You can pass `False` here to suppress the actual writing of TF data.
        In that way you can dry-run the director to check for errors and warnings

    director: function
        An ordinary function that takes one argument, the `cv` object, and
        should not deliver anything.

        Writing this function is the main job to do when you want to convert a data source
        to TF.

        See `tf.convert.walker` for more details.
