Abstract: A range of explanation engines assist data analysts by performing feature selection over increasingly high-volume and high-dimensional data, grouping and highlighting commonalities among data points. While useful in diverse tasks such as user behavior analytics, opera- tional event processing, and root cause analysis, today’s explanation engines are designed as standalone data processing tools that do not interoperate with traditional, SQL-based analytics workflows; this limits the applicability and extensibility of these engines. In response, we propose the DIFF operator, a relat…

A lot of projects start with something like: text controller/ service/ repository/ entity/ configuration/ It is simple at the beginning. But after few years you can have 100 services, 80 repositories and a lot of classes which are public only because this is how the project was created. The package structure tells you almo…

I like to reuse code I've already written. But with so many projects over the many years, it's sometimes hard to remember which project I did a given thing in or even what the parameters of a rarely used Win32 API function are. I needed something that could easily find what I needed without the slowness of a recursive grep (especially since my projects can span many different locations in the filesystems and even many different computers/OSes) or the increasing difficulty in getting what you want from search engines on the internet. This search engine implements TF-IDF and BM25 algorithms. It…
