MeTA v2.4.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-09-07 // over 7 years ago
  • 🆕 New features

    ➕ Add a minimal perfect hashing implementation for language_model, and unify
    the querying interface with the existing language model.

    ➕ Add a CMake install() command to install MeTA as a library (issue #143). For
    example, once the library is installed, users can do:

    find\_package(MeTA 2.4 REQUIRED)add\_executable(my-program src/my\_program.cpp) target\_link\_libraries(my-program meta-index) # or whatever libs needed from MeTA
    

    🔋 Feature selection functionality added to multiclass_dataset and
    binary_dataset and views (issues #111, #149 and PR #150 thanks to @siddshuk).

    auto selector = features::make\_selector(\*config, training\_vw); uint64\_t total\_features\_selected = 20; selector-\>select(total\_features\_selected); auto filtered\_dset = features::filter\_dataset(dset, \*selector); 
    

    👉 Users can now, similar to hash_append, declare standalone functions in the
    same scope as their type called packed_read and packed_write which will be
    called by io::packed::read and io::packed::write, respectively, via argument-dependent lookup.

    🐛 Bug fixes

    • 🛠 Fix edge-case bug in the succinct data structures
    • 🛠 Fix off-by-one error in lm::diff

    ✨ Enhancements

    • ➕ Added functionality to the meta::hashing library: hash_append overload for

    • Further isolate ICU in MeTA to allow CMake to install()
    • ⚡️ Updates to EWS (UIUC) build guide
    • ➕ Add std::vector operations to io::packed
    • Consolidated all variants of chunk iterators into one template
