This image can either be used as a push-button image ingestion and +IQR interface container, or as a fully feature environment to play around with +SMQTK, Caffe deep-learning-based content description and IQR. + +A major departure has happened for some representation structures, like +DataElements, as they are no longer considered hashable and now have interfaces +reflecting their mutability. Representation structures, by their nature of +having arbitrary backends, may be modifiable my external agents interacting in +a separate manner with the backend being used. This has also opened up the +ability to provide algorithm implementations with DataElement instances instead +of filepaths for desired byte content and many implementations have +transitioned over to using this pattern. There is nothing fundamentally wrong +with requesting file-path input, however it is restricting as to where +configuration files or data models may come from. + Updates / New Features since v0.6.2 ----------------------------------- @@ -111,11 +130,11 @@ Scripts * Add script to cluster an index of descriptors via mini-batch kmeans (scikit-learn). - * Added script wraping the use of the minibatch kmeans descriptor clustering + * Added script wraping the use of the mini-batch kmeans descriptor clustering function. - * Added scripts and notebooks for retrieving Memex-specific data from - Elasticsearch. + * Added scripts and notebooks for retrieving MEMEX-specific data from + ElasticSearch. * Moved-command line scripts to the `smqtk.bin` sub-module in order to use ``setuptool`` support for cross-platform executable generation. @@ -148,10 +167,10 @@ Web * Added directory for Girder plugins and added an initial one that, given a folder with the correct metadata attached, can initialize an IQR instance based on that configuration, and then link to IQR web interface - (uses existing/updated IqrSearch webapp). + (uses existing/updated IqrSearch web app). * Added ability to automatically login via a valid Girder token and parent - Girder URL for token/user verification.
