1. Regular expressions have their roots in formal language theory but are widely used in practice for tasks like data extraction and transformation. 2. They allow specifying patterns to match text, capture subgroups, and transform matches using backreferences. 3. While powerful, regular expressions can be difficult to get right and require balancing expressiveness with avoiding false positives and negatives. It is often best to use regular expressions for syntax and code for semantic validation.

Week-2: Theory & Practice of Data Cleaning: Regular Expressions in Theory
The document introduces regular expressions from both a theoretical and practical perspective. Theoretically, regular expressions are formal expressions that define search patterns to match or recognize strings. They are made up of base elements like characters, alternation, concatenation, and Kleene star. Practically, regular expressions are widely used to match and extract data in text editors, programming languages, and applications like data cleaning and extraction. They allow flexible matching of patterns like dates, numbers, or text in various formats.
Lecture 4 python string (ewurc)
This document summarizes key topics from a Python lecture on strings, including membership operators, string constants, Boolean string methods, and string methods. It discusses using the 'in' and 'not in' operators to check if a character is in a string. It also covers built-in string constants for lowercase, uppercase, digits, and more. Boolean string methods like isalpha(), islower(), and isupper() are explained. Finally, common string methods such as capitalize(), count(), find(), and replace() are overviewed.
Regular expressions
Regular expressions are patterns used to match patterns of symbols in text. They allow specifying rules for what constitutes a match using special characters like brackets, pipes, periods, asterisks, and more. Regular expressions can be used in programming languages and tools like Python, Perl, Java, Excel, and more for tasks like validation and search/replace. Examples demonstrate matching strings using expressions like a(ab)*a, abc|xyz, ab+c, and a.[bc]+.
Compiler design syntax analysis
This document discusses syntax analysis in compiler design. It begins by explaining that the lexer takes a string of characters as input and produces a string of tokens as output, which is then input to the parser. The parser takes the string of tokens and produces a parse tree of the program. Context-free grammars are introduced as a natural way to describe the recursive structure of programming languages. Derivations and parse trees are discussed as ways to parse strings based on a grammar. Issues like ambiguity and left recursion in grammars are covered, along with techniques like left factoring that can be used to transform grammars.
Regular expressions
The document discusses regular expressions (regex), which are symbols used to match patterns in text. It provides examples of regex for identifiers, passwords, emails, IPv4 addresses, and IPv6 addresses. It also covers the basics of regex syntax, including characters, quantifiers, anchors, character classes, groups and backreferences. The document notes that regex are used for text matching, searching and replacing. It lists several programming languages and tools that support regex and provides areas where regex are commonly applied, such as validation and pattern matching.
Finaal application on regular expression
Regular expressions are patterns used to match strings in programs like sed, awk, grep, and others. They descend from finite automata theory and are used for tasks like searching text files, lexical analysis of programming languages, and early web search engines. In Linux systems, regular expressions are used by commands like sed, grep, and vi. Sed can perform editing operations on lines that match regular expression addresses.
Regex Presentation
Regular expressions (regex) allow defining patterns to match in text strings using special characters like ., *, + to match types of characters or ranges. They have components like literal characters, character classes, shorthand classes, quantifiers and modifiers that define what is matched. PHP supports both PCRE and POSIX regex with functions like preg_match() and ereg_replace() and there are online tools to test and learn regular expressions.
Regular expressions
Regular expressions provide a concise way to match patterns in text. They work by converting the regex into a state machine that can efficiently search a string to find matches. Important regex syntax includes quantifiers like *, +, ?, character classes like [a-z], and anchors like ^ and $. Regular expression engines turn the regex pattern into a program that can search strings. Thompson's NFA construction algorithm is commonly used to build the state machine from a regex for efficient matching.

Regular Expressions
Regular expressions are a powerful tool for searching, parsing, and modifying text patterns. They allow complex patterns to be matched with simple syntax. Some key uses of regular expressions include validating formats, extracting data from strings, and finding and replacing substrings. Regular expressions use special characters to match literal, quantified, grouped, and alternative character patterns across the start, end, or anywhere within a string.
An Introduction to Regular expressions
Regular expressions (regex) are patterns used to match character combinations in strings. They allow searching and replacing text. Common uses include validation, parsing, extraction and finding/replacing patterns. While powerful, regexes have limitations and should not try to do everything in one expression. Additional resources provide guidance on proper regex usage.
Introduction To Regex in Lasso 8.5
Regular expressions (regex) allow users to search for patterns in text. The document provides an introduction to regex, including its basic components: a regex engine, text to search, and a regular expression pattern. It then covers various regex patterns such as literals, character classes, quantifiers, and grouping. Examples are provided to illustrate how different regex patterns can be used to extract or match text.
Tries data structures
A trie is a tree-based data structure used to store strings in a compact way. It supports efficient pattern matching and prefix matching queries. A trie stores strings by splitting them into individual characters and inserting them as paths in the tree from the root node downwards. Common prefixes are shared between strings in the trie rather than being repeated. Operations like insertion, deletion and searching of strings can be performed in time proportional to the length of the string.
Basta mastering regex power
Regular expressions are the main way many tools matches patterns within strings.
For example, finding pieces of text within a larger doc, or finding a restriction site within a larger sequence. This slide report illustrates what a RegEx is and what you can do to find, match, compare or replace text of documents or code.

ABSTRACT. We propose a new approach for modeling and reconciling conflicting data cleaning actions. Such conflicts arise naturally in collaborative data curation settings where multiple experts work independently and then aim to put their efforts together to improve and accelerate data cleaning. The key idea of our approach is to model conflicting updates as a formal argumentation framework (AF). Such argumentation frameworks can be automatically analyzed and solved by translating them to a logic program PAF whose declarative semantics yield a transparent solution with many desirable properties, e.g., uncontroversial updates are accepted, unjustified ones are rejected, and the remaining ambiguities are exposed and presented to users for further analysis. After motivating the problem, we introduce our approach and illustrate it with a detailed running example introducing both well-founded and stable semantics to help understand the AF solutions. We have begun to develop open source tools and Jupyter notebooks that demonstrate the practicality of our approach. In future work we plan to develop a toolkit for conflict resolution that can be used in conjunction with OpenRefine, a popular interactive data cleaning tool.

[Flashback] Statelog: Integration of Active & Deductive Database Rules
This document discusses Statelog, which integrates active and deductive database rules. Statelog allows both active rules, which trigger actions and modify the database, and deductive rules, which derive new facts. It defines the semantics of different types of rules and how they interact. Statelog guarantees termination of rule evaluation at both compile-time and runtime through techniques like state-stratification and delta-monotonicity. It can express complex temporal queries and supports features like nested transactions.
Answering More Questions with Provenance and Query Patterns
This document discusses using provenance information to improve transparency and reproducibility in research. It begins by asking questions about the input data, methods, and parameter settings used in a study in order to assess its reliability. It then provides examples of how workflow systems can capture provenance at both the design level (prospective provenance) and runtime level (retrospective provenance). These include a Kepler workflow that simulates X-ray data collection and provenance traces captured by DataONE. The document argues that provenance is a critical link between workflow modeling and runtime traces that can increase trust in research findings.
Computational Reproducibility vs. Transparency: Is It FAIR Enough?
Keynote at CLIR Workshop (Webinar): Torward Open, Reproducible, and Reusable Research. February 10, 2021. https://reusableresearch.com/
ABSTRACT. The “reproducibility crisis” has resulted in much interest in methods and tools to improve computational reproducibility. FAIR data principles (data should be findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) are also being adapted and evolved to apply to other artifacts, notably computational analyses (scientific workflows, Jupyter notebooks, etc.). The current focus on computational reproducibility of scripts and other computational workflows sometimes overshadows a somewhat neglected and arguably more important issue: transparency of data analysis, including data wrangling and cleaning. In this talk I will ask the question: What information is gained by conducting a reproducibility experiment? This leads to a simple model (PRIMAD) that aims to answer this question by sorting out different scenarios. Finally, I will present some features of Whole-Tale, a computational platform for reproducible and transparent computational experiments.
Which Model Does Not Belong: A Dialogue
By Michael Gryk and Bertram Ludäscher. Presented at 2020 JCDL-SIGCM Workshop, August 1, 2020.
ABSTRACT. Conceptual models can serve multiple purposes: communication of information between stakeholders, information abstraction and generalization, and information organization for archival and retrieval. An ongoing research question is how to formally define the fit-for-purpose of a conceptual model as well as to define metrics or tests to determine whether a given model faithfully supports a designated purpose.
This paper summarizes preliminary investigations in this area by presenting toy problems along with different conceptual models for the system under study. It is argued that the different models are adequate in supporting a sophisticated query and yet they adopt different normalization schemes and will differ in expressiveness depending on the implied purpose of the models. As the subtitle suggests, this work is intended to be primarily exploratory as to the constraints a formal system would require in defining the “usefulness”, “expressiveness” and “equivalence” of conceptual models.
From Workflows to Transparent Research Objects and Reproducible Science Tales
The document discusses prospective and retrospective provenance in scientific workflows. Prospective provenance involves modeling the workflow design, while retrospective provenance records the workflow execution. The YesWorkflow and noWorkflow tools demonstrate these two types of provenance. YesWorkflow annotates scripts to recreate a workflow model from the script, while noWorkflow records step-by-step runtime logs. Combining both approaches provides a more complete view of a workflow's provenance. Maintaining provenance is important for reproducibility and understanding the origins of scientific results.

University of Southampton. Electronics & Computer Science. Research Seminar (Invited Talk).
TITLE: From Research Objects to Reproducible Science Tales
ABSTRACT. Rumor has it that there is a reproducibility crisis in science. Or maybe there are multiple crises? What do we mean by reproducibility and replicability anyways? In this talk I will first make an attempt at sorting out some of the terminological confusion in this area, focusing on computational aspects. The PRIMAD model is another attempt to describe different aspects of reproducibility studies by focusing on the "delta" between those studies and the original study. In addition to these more theoretical investigations, I will discuss practical efforts to create more reproducible and more transparent computational platforms such as the one developed by the Whole-Tale project: here 'tales' are executable research objects that may combine data, code, runtime environments, and narratives (i.e., the traditional "science story"). I will conclude with some thoughts about the remaining challenges and opportunities to bridge the large conceptual gaps that continue to exist despite the recognition of problems of reproducibility and transparency in science.

Prior to his faculty appointments, he was a research scientist at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and an adjunct faculty at the CSE Department at UC San Diego. He received his M.S. (Dipl.-Inform.) in computer science from the University of Karlsruhe (now K.I.T.), and his PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) from the University of Freiburg, in Germany.
Possible Worlds Explorer: Datalog & Answer Set Programming for the Rest of Us
PWE: Datalog & ASP for the Rest of Us discusses using Possible Worlds Explorer (PWE) to make Datalog and Answer Set Programming (ASP) more accessible to non-experts. It covers topics like using provenance to explain query results, capturing rule firings to track provenance, representing provenance as a graph, using states to track derivation rounds, and declarative profiling of Datalog programs. The presentation advocates for tools like PWE that wrap Datalog/ASP engines to combine them with Python ecosystems and allow interactive use in Jupyter notebooks. This makes the languages more approachable and helps users build on existing work by experimenting further.

A workshop co-organized with Provenance Week 2018
King's College London, 12th and 13th July, 2018
Organizers: Paolo Missier (Newcastle University), Tanu Malik (DePaul University), Jacek Cala (Newcastle University)
Abstract: Incremental recomputation has applications, e.g., in databases and workflow systems. Methods and algorithms for recomputation depend on the underlying model of computation (MoC) and model of provenance (MoP). This relation is explored with some examples from databases and workflow systems.
Validation and Inference of Schema-Level Workflow Data-Dependency Annotations
Presentation slides of paper by Shawn Bowers, Timothy McPhillips, and Bertram Ludäscher, given by Shawn at Provenance and Annotation of Data and Processes - 7th International Provenance and Annotation Workshop, IPAW 2018, King's College London, UK, July 9-10, 2018.
The paper won a the IPAW best paper award: https://twitter.com/kbelhajj/status/1017082775856467968
ABSTRACT. An advantage of scientific workflow systems is their ability to collect runtime provenance information as an execution trace. Traces include the computation steps invoked as part of the workflow run along with the corresponding data consumed and produced by each workflow step. The information captured by a trace is used to infer "lineage'' relationships among data items, which can help answer provenance queries to find workflow inputs that were involved in producing specific workflow outputs. Determining lineage relationships, however, requires an understanding of the dependency patterns that exist between each workflow step's inputs and outputs, and this information is often under-specified or generally assumed by workflow systems. For instance, most approaches assume all outputs depend on all inputs, which can lead to lineage "false positives''. In prior work, we defined annotations for specifying detailed dependency relationships between inputs and outputs of computation steps. These annotations are used to define corresponding rules for inferring fine-grained data dependencies from a trace. In this paper, we extend our previous work by considering the impact of dependency annotations on workflow specifications. In particular, we provide a reasoning framework to ensure the set of dependency annotations on a workflow specification is consistent. The framework can also infer a complete set of annotations given a partially annotated workflow. Finally, we describe an implementation of the reasoning framework using answer-set programming.

So this isn't new -- but still relevant :-)
ABSTRACT. Ecologists spend considerable effort integrating heterogeneous data for statistical analyses and simulations, for example, to run and test predictive models. Our research is focused on reducing this effort by providing data integration and transformation tools, allowing researchers to focus on “real science,” that is, discovering new knowledge through analysis and modeling. This paper defines a generic framework for transforming heterogeneous data within scientific workflows. Our approach relies on a formalized ontology, which serves as a simple, unstructured global schema. In the framework, inputs and outputs of services within scientific workflows can have structural types and separate seman- tic types (expressions of the target ontology). In addition, a registration mapping can be defined to relate input and output structural types to their corresponding semantic types. Using registration mappings, ap- propriate data transformations can then be generated for each desired service composition. Here, we describe our proposed framework and an initial implementation for services that consume and produce XML data.
Knowledge Representation & Reasoning and the Hierarchy-of-Hypotheses Approach
Talk given at 2nd Workshop on the Hierarchy-of-Hypotheses Approach. July 4-6, 2018.
Schloss Herrenhausen, Hannover, Germany
Whole-Tale: The Experience of Research
The document describes the Whole Tale platform, which aims to facilitate reproducibility in computational research. Whole Tale allows researchers to package computational narratives, data, code, and provenance information into "tales" that can be shared and re-executed. Key features of Whole Tale include running interactive notebooks, versioning and sharing tales, and integrating provenance tracking tools to provide transparency into computational workflows. The speaker demonstrates several example tales and discusses upcoming Whole Tale features and applications in different domains like archaeology, astronomy, and materials science.

Natural Language Processing (NLP), RAG and its applications .pptx
1. In the realm of Natural Language Processing (NLP), knowledge-intensive tasks such as question answering, fact verification, and open-domain dialogue generation require the integration of vast and up-to-date information. Traditional neural models, though powerful, struggle with encoding all necessary knowledge within their parameters, leading to limitations in generalization and scalability. The paper "Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Knowledge-Intensive NLP Tasks" introduces RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), a novel framework that synergizes retrieval mechanisms with generative models, enhancing performance by dynamically incorporating external knowledge during inference.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。只硕大的蛇皮袋手里拎着长铁钩正站在门口朝黑色的屋内张望不好坏人小偷山娃一怔却也灵机一动立马仰起头双手拢在嘴边朝楼上大喊：“爸爸爸——有人找——那人一听朝山娃尴尬地笑笑悻悻地走了山娃立马“嘭的一声将铁门锁死心却咚咚地乱跳当山娃跟父亲说起这事时父亲很吃惊抚摸着山娃的头说还好醒得及时要不家早被人掏空了到时连电视也没得看啰不过父亲还是夸山娃能临危不乱随机应变有胆有谋山娃笑笑说那都是书上学的看童话和小说时多

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Database
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

Enhanced Enterprise Intelligence with your personal AI Data Copilot.pdf
Recently we have observed the rise of open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) that are community-driven or developed by the AI market leaders, such as Meta (Llama3), Databricks (DBRX) and Snowflake (Arctic). On the other hand, there is a growth in interest in specialized, carefully fine-tuned yet relatively small models that can efficiently assist programmers in day-to-day tasks. Finally, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures have gained a lot of traction as the preferred approach for LLMs context and prompt augmentation for building conversational SQL data copilots, code copilots and chatbots.
In this presentation, we will show how we built upon these three concepts a robust Data Copilot that can help to democratize access to company data assets and boost performance of everyone working with data platforms.
Why do we need yet another (open-source ) Copilot?
How can we build one?
Architecture and evaluation
Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headed
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.

Week-2: Theory & Practice of Data Cleaning: Regular Expressions in Practice
- 1. Theory and Practice of Data Cleaning Regular Expressions: From Theory to Practice
- 2. Theory of Regular Expressions • Base elements: • ∅ empty set, ε empty string, and Σ alphabet of characters • For regular expressions R, S, the following are regular expressions: • R | S alternation • R S concatenation • R* Kleene star • (R) parentheses (can be omitted with precedence rules) • Regular languages … • generated by regular (Type-3) grammars • recognized (accepted) by a finite automaton • expressed by regular expressions
- 3. Regular Grammars • Not very handy in practice … • Regular expressions to the rescue! [-+]?[0-9]*.?[0-9]+([eE][-+]?[0-9]+)? Example: floating point numbers such as -0.314159265e+1 … can be generated by a right regular grammar G with N = {S, A,B,C,D,E,F}, Σ = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,+,-,.,e}, Production rules P =
- 4. Introduction to Regular Expressions (Regex) Theory & Practice • Theory of regular expressions: • Brief introduction where regular expressions come from … • Practice of regular expressions: • What you need to know to get started with regex in practice! • Demonstration of regular expressions
- 5. Practice of Regular Expressions • Use case: Extract (then transform) data from text • pi = -0.314159265e+1 • e = 0.2718281828E+1 • This regex will do the trick: [-+]?[0-9]*.?[0-9]+([eE][-+]?[0-9]+)? • Character set [ … ] matches any single character • Optional element ... ? matches 0 or 1 occurrence • Range [0-9] matches any single character in this range • (Kleene) Star ... * matches 0 or more occurrences • Dot . matches any character (execept line breaks) • Escape character ... take next character literally (no special meaning) • Capturing group (...) group multiple tokens; capture group for backreference
- 6. Beware of False Negatives and False Positives • False Negative • your pattern doe not match … although it should! • you will notice this problem first (missing match results) • Remedy: you need to “relax” the regex, so it matches the desired strings • False Positive • your pattern does match … although it shouldn’t! • you might not notice this at first (false matches may occur sporadically) • Remedy: you need to “tighten” the regex, so it matches fewer strings (avoiding the false matches)
- 7. RegEx Matching as a Sport: RegEx Golf https://xkcd.com/1313/
- 8. Division of Labor: RegEx for Syntax; Code for Semantics • Getting “the right” regex can be quite a balancing act • … making RegEx Golf a real sport • Even if there is a (near) exact regex solution, it might be really difficult to get right, debug, maintain, etc.
- 9. Division of Labor: RegEx for Syntax; Code for Semantics • Better: allow some false positives, then use code to check the semantics è keep regex for what they’re best: syntactic patterns è use some code to check the semantics of the match • Usually much better in practice • and sometimes the only option, even in theory • Example: 02/29/2000 . Is that a valid (even if non-standard) date? • if (year is not divisible by 4) then (it is a common year) else if (year is not divisible by 100) then (it is a leap year) else if (year is not divisible by 400) then (it is a common year) else (it is a leap year)
- 10. Character Classes • . match any character except newline • w d s match a word, digit, whitespace character, respectively • W D S match a non-word, non-digit, non-whitespace character • [abc] any of a, b, or c • [^abc] match a character other than a, b, or c • [a-g] match a character between a, b, …, g
- 11. Anchors • ^abc match abc at the start of the string • abc$ match abc at the end of the string • xyzb match xyz at a word boundary • xyzB match xyz if not at a word boundary
- 12. Escaped Characters • . * escaped special characters • t n r match a tab, linefeed, carriage return • u00A9 unicode escaped ©
- 13. Groups • ([0-9]+)s*([a-z]+) two capture group s • 1 backreference to group #1 • 2 1 first group #2, then #1 (simple palindrome)
- 14. Using Groups for Transformations • Groups and backreferences are often used in transformations • (d{2})/(d{2})/(d{4}) three capture groups for MM/DD/YYYY • $3-$1-$2 insert captured results as: YYYY-MM-DD • • Use for example in Python, OpenRefine, …
- 15. Summary Regular Expressions • Powerful language for pattern matching, extraction, transformation • Roots in computer science theory (formal languages) • Widely used in practice and may “save the day” • Data extraction, Data transformation è Data quality assessment & cleaning • … acquired taste... addictive ... special powers https://xkcd.com/208/
