Module tf.core.prepare

Pre-compute data.

For TF to work efficiently, some derived data needs to be pre-computed. The pre-computed data has a similar function as indexes in a database.

Pre-computation is triggered when Fabric loads features, and the order and nature of the steps is configured in PRECOMPUTE.

The functions in this module implement those tasks.

def levels(info, error, otype, oslots, otext):
    """Computes level data.

    For each node type, compute the average number of slots occupied by its nodes,
    and order the node types on that.

    Parameters
    ----------
    info: function
        Method to write informational messages to the console.
    error: function
        Method to write error messages to the console.
    otype: iterable
        The data of the `otype` feature.
    oslots: iterable
        The data of the `oslots` feature.
    otext: iterable
        The data of the `otext` feature.

    Returns
    -------
    tuple
        An ordered tuple, each member with the information of a node type:

        *   node type name
        *   average number of slots contained in the nodes of this type
        *   first node of this type
        *   last node of this type

    The order of the tuple is descending by average number of slots per node of that
    type.

    Notes
    -----
    !!! explanation "Level computation and customization"
        All node types have a level, defined by the average amount of slots object of
        that type usually occupy. The bigger the average object, the lower the levels.
        Books have the lowest level, words the highest level.

        However, this can be overruled. Suppose you have a node type `phrase` and above
        it a node type `cluster`, i.e. phrases are contained in clusters, but not vice
        versa. If all phrases are contained in clusters, and some clusters have more
        than one phrase, the automatic level ranking of node types works out well in
        this case. But if clusters only have very small phrases, and the big phrases do
        not occur in clusters, then the algorithm may assign a lower rank to clusters
        than to phrases.

        In general, it is too expensive to try to compute the levels in a sophisticated
        way. In order to remedy cases where the algorithm assigns wrong levels, you can
        add a `@levels` and / or `@levelsConstraint` key to the `otext`
        configuration feature.
        See `tf.core.text`.

Functions

def boundary(info, error, otype, oslots, rank)

Computes boundary data.

For each slot, the nodes that start at that slot and the nodes that end at that slot are collected.

Boundary data is used by the API functions Locality.p(). and Locality.n().

Parameters

info : function
Method to write informational messages to the console.
error : function
Method to write error messages to the console.
otype : iterable
The data of the otype feature.
oslots : iterable
The data of the oslots feature.
rank : tuple
The data of the rank() pre-computation step.

Returns

tuple
  • first: tuple of tuple The n-th member is the tuple of nodes that start at slot n, ordered in reversed canonical order (tf.core.nodes);
  • last: tuple of tuple The n-th member is the tuple of nodes that end at slot n, ordered in canonical order;

Notes

why reversed canonical order?

Just for symmetry.

def characters(info, error, otext, tFormats, *tFeats)

Computes character data.

For each text format, a frequency list of the characters in that format is made.

Parameters

info : function
Method to write informational messages to the console.
error : function
Method to write error messages to the console.
otext : iterable
The data of the otext feature.
tFormats : dict
Dictionary keyed by text format and valued by the tuple of features used in that format.
tFeats : iterable
Each tFeat is the name and the data of a text feature. i.e. a feature used in text formats.

Returns

dict
Keyed by format valued by a frequency dict, which is itself keyed by single characters and valued by the frequency of that character in the whole corpus when rendered with that format.
def levDown(info, error, otype, levUp, rank)

Computes level-down data.

Level-down data is used by the API function Locality.d().

This function computes the embedded nodes of a node by looking them up from the level-down data.

Parameters

info : function
Method to write informational messages to the console.
error : function
Method to write error messages to the console.
otype : iterable
The data of the otype feature.
levUp : iterable
The data of the levUp() pre-computation step.
rank : tuple
The data of the rank() pre-computation step.

Returns

tuple
The n-th member is an tuple of the embedded nodes of n + maxSlot. Those tuples are sorted in canonical order (tf.core.nodes).

Memory efficiency

Slot nodes do not have embedded nodes, so they do not have to occupy space in this tuple. Hence the first member are the embedded nodes of node maxSlot + 1.

Use with care

It is not advisable to use this data directly by C.levDown.data, it is far better to use the Locality.d() function.

Only when every bit of performance waste has to be squeezed out, this raw data might be a deal.

def levUp(info, error, otype, oslots, rank)

Computes level-up data.

Level-up data is used by the API function Locality.u().

This function computes the embedders of a node by looking them up from the level-up data.

Parameters

info : function
Method to write informational messages to the console.
error : function
Method to write error messages to the console.
otype : iterable
The data of the otype feature.
oslots : iterable
The data of the oslots feature.
rank : tuple
The data of the rank() pre-computation step.

Returns

tuple
The n-th member is a tuple of the embedder nodes of n. Those tuples are sorted in canonical order (tf.core.nodes).

Notes

Memory efficiency

Many nodes have the same tuple of embedders. Those embedder tuples will be reused for those nodes.

Warnings

It is not advisable to use this data directly by C.levUp.data, it is far better to use the Locality.u() function.

Only when every bit of performance waste has to be squeezed out, this raw data might be a deal.

def levels(info, error, otype, oslots, otext)

Computes level data.

For each node type, compute the average number of slots occupied by its nodes, and order the node types on that.

Parameters

info : function
Method to write informational messages to the console.
error : function
Method to write error messages to the console.
otype : iterable
The data of the otype feature.
oslots : iterable
The data of the oslots feature.
otext : iterable
The data of the otext feature.

Returns

tuple

An ordered tuple, each member with the information of a node type:

  • node type name
  • average number of slots contained in the nodes of this type
  • first node of this type
  • last node of this type
The order() of the tuple is descending by average number of slots per node of that
 

type.

Notes

Level computation and customization

All node types have a level, defined by the average amount of slots object of that type usually occupy. The bigger the average object, the lower the levels. Books have the lowest level, words the highest level.

However, this can be overruled. Suppose you have a node type phrase and above it a node type cluster, i.e. phrases are contained in clusters, but not vice versa. If all phrases are contained in clusters, and some clusters have more than one phrase, the automatic level ranking of node types works out well in this case. But if clusters only have very small phrases, and the big phrases do not occur in clusters, then the algorithm may assign a lower rank to clusters than to phrases.

In general, it is too expensive to try to compute the levels in a sophisticated way. In order to remedy cases where the algorithm assigns wrong levels, you can add a @levels and / or @levelsConstraint key to the otext configuration feature. See tf.core.text.

def order(info, error, otype, oslots, levels)

Computes order data for the canonical ordering.

The canonical ordering between nodes is defined in terms of the slots that nodes contain, and if that is not decisive, the rank of the node type is taken into account, and if that is still not decisive, the node itself is taken into account.

Parameters

info : function
Method to write informational messages to the console.
error : function
Method to write error messages to the console.
otype : iterable
The data of the otype feature.
oslots : iterable
The data of the oslots feature.
levels : tuple
The data of the levels() pre-computation step.

Returns

tuple
All nodes, slot and nonslot, in canonical order.

See Also

tf.core.nodes
canonical ordering
def rank(info, error, otype, order)

Computes rank data.

The rank of a node is its place in among the other nodes in the canonical order (see tf.core.nodes).

Parameters

info : function
Method to write informational messages to the console.
error : function
Method to write error messages to the console.
otype : iterable
The data of the otype feature.
order : tuple
The data of the order() feature.

Returns

tuple
The ranks of all nodes, slot and nonslot, with respect to the canonical order.
def sections(info, error, otype, oslots, otext, levUp, levDown, levels, *sFeats)

Computes section data.

TF datasets may define up to three section levels, roughly corresponding with a volume, a chapter, a paragraph.

If the corpus has a richer section structure, it is also possible a different, more flexible and more extensive nest of structural sections. See structure().

TF must be able to go from sections at one level to the sections at one level lower. It must also be able to map section headings to nodes. For this, the section features are needed, since they contain the section headings.

We also map the sections to sequence numbers and back, at each level, e.g. in the Hebrew Bible Genesis is mapped to 1, Exodus to 2, etc. We also do it for integer values components, and we make sure that the first section at each level gets sequence number 1.

Parameters

info : function
Method to write informational messages to the console.
error : function
Method to write error messages to the console.
otype : iterable
The data of the otype feature.
oslots : iterable
The data of the oslots feature.
otext : iterable
The data of the otext feature.
levUp : tuple
The data of the levUp() pre-computation step.
levDown : tuple
The data of the levDown() pre-computation step.
levels : tuple
The data of the levels() pre-computation step.
sFeats : iterable
Each sFeat is the data of a section feature.

Returns

dict

We have the following items:

  • sec1: Mapping from section-level-1 nodes to mappings from section-level-2 headings to section-level-2 nodes.
  • sec2: Mapping from section-level-1 nodes to mappings from section-level-2 headings to mappings from section-level-3 headings to section-level-3 nodes.
  • seqFromNode: Mapping from tuples of section nodes to tuples of sequence numbers. Only if there are precisely 3 section levels, otherwise this is an empty dictionary.
  • nodeFromSeq: Mapping from tuples of section sequence numbers to tuples of nodes. Only if there are precisely 3 section levels, otherwise this is an empty dictionary.

Warnings

Note that the terms book, chapter, verse are not baked into TF. It is the corpus data, especially the otext configuration feature that spells out the names of the sections.
