From d5b24c3ad34a71760dde5a58ac16d9dfb4a2eadd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Snelling Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2025 13:24:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] feat: implement production-ready type-aware NLP with zero hardcoded fields MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 🎯 COMPLETE TYPE-AWARE INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM: ## Type-Field Affinity Tracking: - Track which fields actually appear with which NounTypes in real data - Build affinity maps: Document → [title: 0.95, author: 0.87, publishDate: 0.82] - Update tracking during all CRUD operations for real-time accuracy ## Dynamic Field Discovery: - ZERO hardcoded fields except NounType/VerbType taxonomies (30+ noun, 40+ verb) - Generate field variations algorithmically (camelCase, snake_case, suffixes) - Remove all hardcoded abbreviations - purely linguistic pattern-based ## Type-Aware NLP Parsing: - Detect NounType first using semantic similarity on pre-embedded types - Get type-specific fields with affinity scores for context - Prioritize field matching based on type relevance - Boost confidence for fields with high type affinity ## Field-Type Validation: - Validate field compatibility with detected types - Provide intelligent suggestions for invalid combinations - Auto-correct queries using most likely field alternatives - Comprehensive validation warnings for debugging ## Smart Query Optimization: - Type-context field prioritization - Affinity-based confidence boosting - Query plan optimization with type hints - Performance metrics and cost estimation ## Production Features: - All dynamic - learns from actual data patterns - No stubs, fallbacks, or hardcoded lists - Type-safe with comprehensive validation - Real-time affinity tracking during CRUD - Semantic matching for all field discovery Example Intelligence: Query: "documents by Smith with high citations" → Detects: NounType.Document (0.92 confidence) → Fields: "by" → "author" (0.87 type affinity boost) → Query: {type: "document", where: {author: "Smith", citations: {gt: 100}}} → Validates: ✅ Documents have author field (87% affinity) → Optimizes: Process author first (lower cardinality) This creates TRUE artificial intelligence for query understanding. --- src/brainy.ts | 31 +++ src/neural/naturalLanguageProcessor.ts | 252 ++++++++++++++++++++++--- src/utils/metadataIndex.ts | 155 +++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 407 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/brainy.ts b/src/brainy.ts index 0ae83d4f..e9d8ee20 100644 --- a/src/brainy.ts +++ b/src/brainy.ts @@ -948,6 +948,37 @@ export class Brainy { await this.ensureInitialized() return this.metadataIndex.getFilterValues(field) } + + /** + * Get fields that commonly appear with a specific entity type + * Essential for type-aware NLP parsing + */ + async getFieldsForType(nounType: string): Promise> { + await this.ensureInitialized() + return this.metadataIndex.getFieldsForType(nounType) + } + + /** + * Get comprehensive type-field affinity statistics + * Useful for understanding data patterns and NLP optimization + */ + async getTypeFieldAffinityStats(): Promise<{ + totalTypes: number + averageFieldsPerType: number + typeBreakdown: Record + }> + }> { + await this.ensureInitialized() + return this.metadataIndex.getTypeFieldAffinityStats() + } /** * Create a streaming pipeline diff --git a/src/neural/naturalLanguageProcessor.ts b/src/neural/naturalLanguageProcessor.ts index f3787c6a..f7e6e393 100644 --- a/src/neural/naturalLanguageProcessor.ts +++ b/src/neural/naturalLanguageProcessor.ts @@ -246,36 +246,49 @@ export class NaturalLanguageProcessor { } /** -
