# RuVector Dataset Discovery Framework
|
|
|
|
**Find hidden patterns and connections in massive datasets that traditional tools miss.**
|
|
|
|
RuVector turns your data—research papers, climate records, financial filings—into a connected graph, then uses cutting-edge algorithms to spot emerging trends, cross-domain relationships, and regime shifts *before* they become obvious.
|
|
|
|
## Why RuVector?
|
|
|
|
Most data analysis tools excel at answering questions you already know to ask. RuVector is different: it helps you **discover what you don't know you're looking for**.
|
|
|
|
**Real-world examples:**
|
|
- 🔬 **Research**: Spot a new field forming 6-12 months before it gets a name, by detecting when papers start citing across traditional boundaries
|
|
- 🌍 **Climate**: Detect regime shifts in weather patterns that correlate with economic disruptions
|
|
- 💰 **Finance**: Find companies whose narratives are diverging from their peers—often an early warning signal
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
| Feature | What It Does | Why It Matters |
|
|
|---------|--------------|----------------|
|
|
| **Vector Memory** | Stores data as 384-1536 dim embeddings | Similar concepts cluster together automatically |
|
|
| **HNSW Index** | O(log n) approximate nearest neighbor search | 10-50x faster than brute force for large datasets |
|
|
| **Graph Structure** | Connects related items with weighted edges | Reveals hidden relationships in your data |
|
|
| **Min-Cut Analysis** | Measures how "connected" your network is | Detects regime changes and fragmentation |
|
|
| **Cross-Domain Detection** | Finds bridges between different fields | Discovers unexpected correlations (e.g., climate → finance) |
|
|
| **ONNX Embeddings** | Neural semantic embeddings (MiniLM, BGE, etc.) | Production-quality text understanding |
|
|
| **Causality Testing** | Checks if changes in X predict changes in Y | Moves beyond correlation to actionable insights |
|
|
| **Statistical Rigor** | Reports p-values and effect sizes | Know which findings are real vs. noise |
|
|
|
|
### What's New in v0.3.0
|
|
|
|
- **HNSW Integration**: O(n log n) similarity search replaces O(n²) brute force
|
|
- **Similarity Cache**: 2-3x speedup for repeated similarity queries
|
|
- **Batch ONNX Embeddings**: Chunked processing with progress callbacks
|
|
- **Shared Utils Module**: `cosine_similarity`, `euclidean_distance`, `normalize_vector`
|
|
- **Auto-connect by Embeddings**: CoherenceEngine creates edges from vector similarity
|
|
|
|
### Performance
|
|
|
|
- ⚡ **10-50x faster** similarity search (HNSW vs brute force)

|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Ensure you're in the ruvector workspace
|
|
cd /workspaces/ruvector
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run Your First Example
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 1. Performance benchmark - see the speed improvements
|
|
cargo run --example optimized_benchmark -p ruvector-data-framework --features parallel --release
|
|
|
|
# 2. Discovery hunter - find patterns in sample data
|
|
cargo run --example discovery_hunter -p ruvector-data-framework --features parallel --release
|
|
|
|
# 3. Cross-domain analysis - detect bridges between fields
|
|
cargo run --example cross_domain_discovery -p ruvector-data-framework --release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Domain-Specific Examples
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Climate: Detect weather regime shifts
|
|
cargo run --example regime_detector -p ruvector-data-climate
|
|
|
|
# Finance: Monitor corporate filing coherence
|
|
cargo run --example coherence_watch -p ruvector-data-edgar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### What You'll See

```
|
|
|
|
## The Discovery Thesis
|
|
|
|
RuVector's unique combination of **vector memory**, **graph structures**, and **dynamic minimum cut algorithms** enables discoveries that most analysis tools miss:
|
|
|
|
- **Emerging patterns before they have names**: Detect topic splits and merges as cut boundaries shift over time
|
|
- **Non-obvious cross-domain bridges**: Find small "connector" subgraphs where disciplines quietly start citing each other
|
|
- **Causal leverage maps**: Link funders, labs, venues, and downstream citations to spot high-impact intervention points
|
|
- **Regime shifts in time series**: Use coherence breaks to flag fundamental changes in system behavior
|
|
|
|
## Tutorial
|
|
|
|
### 1. Creating the Engine
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
use ruvector_data_framework::optimized::{
|
|
OptimizedDiscoveryEngine, OptimizedConfig,
|
|
};
|
|
use ruvector_data_framework::ruvector_native::{
|
|
Domain, SemanticVector,
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
let config = OptimizedConfig {
|
|
similarity_threshold: 0.55, // Minimum cosine similarity
|
|
mincut_sensitivity: 0.10, // Coherence change threshold
|
|
cross_domain: true, // Enable cross-domain discovery
|
|
use_simd: true, // SIMD acceleration
|
|
significance_threshold: 0.05, // P-value threshold
|
|
causality_lookback: 12, // Temporal lookback periods
|
|
..Default::default()
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
let mut engine = OptimizedDiscoveryEngine::new(config);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Adding Data
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
use std::collections::HashMap;
|
|
use chrono::Utc;
|
|
|
|
// Single vector
|
|
let vector = SemanticVector {
|
|
id: "climate_drought_2024".to_string(),
|
|
embedding: generate_embedding(), // 128-dim vector
|
|
domain: Domain::Climate,
|
|
timestamp: Utc::now(),
|
|
metadata: HashMap::from([
|
|
("region".to_string(), "sahel".to_string()),
|
|
("severity".to_string(), "extreme".to_string()),
|
|
]),
|
|
};
|
|
let node_id = engine.add_vector(vector);
|
|
|
|
// Batch insertion (8.8x faster)
|
|
#[cfg(feature = "parallel")]
|
|
{
|
|
let vectors: Vec<SemanticVector> = load_vectors();
|
|
let node_ids = engine.add_vectors_batch(vectors);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Computing Coherence
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
let snapshot = engine.compute_coherence();
|
|
|
|
println!("Min-cut value: {:.3}", snapshot.mincut_value);
|
|
println!("Partition sizes: {:?}", snapshot.partition_sizes);
|
|
println!("Boundary nodes: {:?}", snapshot.boundary_nodes);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Interpretation:**
|
|
| Min-cut Trend | Meaning |
|
|
|---------------|---------|
|
|
| Rising | Network consolidating, stronger connections |
|
|
| Falling | Fragmentation, potential regime change |
|
|
| Stable | Steady state, consistent structure |
|
|
|
|
### 4. Pattern Detection
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
let patterns = engine.detect_patterns_with_significance();
|
|
|
|
for pattern in patterns.iter().filter(|p| p.is_significant) {
|
|
println!("{}", pattern.pattern.description);
|
|
println!(" P-value: {:.4}", pattern.p_value);
|
|
println!(" Effect size: {:.3}", pattern.effect_size);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Pattern Types:**
|
|
| Type | Description | Example |
|
|
|------|-------------|---------|
|
|
| `CoherenceBreak` | Min-cut dropped significantly | Network fragmentation crisis |
|
|
| `Consolidation` | Min-cut increased | Market convergence |
|
|
| `BridgeFormation` | Cross-domain connections | Climate-finance link |
|
|
| `Cascade` | Temporal causality | Climate → Finance lag-3 |
|
|
| `EmergingCluster` | New dense subgraph | Research topic emerging |
|
|
|
|
### 5. Cross-Domain Analysis
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
// Check coupling strength
|
|
let stats = engine.stats();
|
|
let coupling = stats.cross_domain_edges as f64 / stats.total_edges as f64;
|
|
println!("Cross-domain coupling: {:.1}%", coupling * 100.0);
|
|
|
|
// Domain coherence scores
|
|
for domain in [Domain::Climate, Domain::Finance, Domain::Research] {
|
|
if let Some(coh) = engine.domain_coherence(domain) {
|
|
println!("{:?}: {:.3}", domain, coh);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

### Climate-Finance Bridge
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Detected: Climate ↔ Finance bridge
|
|
Strength: 0.73
|
|
Connections: 197
|
|
|
|
Hypothesis: Drought indices may predict
|
|
utility sector performance with lag-2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Regime Shift Detection
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Min-cut trajectory:
|
|
t=0: 72.5 (baseline)
|
|
t=1: 73.3 (+1.1%)
|
|
t=2: 74.5 (+1.6%) ← Consolidation
|
|
|
|
Effect size: 2.99 (large)
|
|
P-value: 0.042 (significant)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Causality Pattern
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Climate → Finance causality detected
|
|
F-statistic: 4.23
|
|
Optimal lag: 3 periods
|
|
Correlation: 0.67
|
|
P-value: 0.031
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Algorithms
|
|
|
|
### HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World)
|
|
Approximate nearest neighbor search in high-dimensional spaces.
|
|
- **Complexity**: O(log n) search, O(log n) insert
|
|
- **Use**: Fast similarity search for edge creation
|
|
- **Parameters**: `m=16`, `ef_construction=200`, `ef_search=50`
|
|
|
|
### Stoer-Wagner Min-Cut
|
|
Computes minimum cut of weighted undirected graph.
|
|
- **Complexity**: O(VE + V² log V)
|
|
- **Use**: Network coherence measurement
|
|
|
|
### SIMD Cosine Similarity
|
|
Processes 8 floats per iteration using AVX2.
|
|
- **Speedup**: 2.9x vs scalar
|
|
- **Fallback**: Chunked scalar (8 floats per iteration)
|
|
|
|
### Granger Causality
|
|
Tests if past values of X predict Y.
|
|
1. Compute cross-correlation at lags 1..k
|
|
2. Find optimal lag with max |correlation|
|
|
3. Calculate F-statistic
|
|
4. Convert to p-value
|
|
|
|
## Best Practices
|
|
|
|
1. **Start with low thresholds** - Use `similarity_threshold: 0.45` for exploration
|
|
2. **Use batch insertion** - `add_vectors_batch()` is 8x faster
|
|
3. **Monitor coherence trends** - Min-cut trajectory predicts regime changes
|
|
4. **Filter by significance** - Focus on `p_value < 0.05`
|
|
5. **Validate causality** - Temporal patterns need domain expertise
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
| Problem | Solution |
|
|
|---------|----------|
|
|
| No patterns detected | Lower `mincut_sensitivity` to 0.05 |
|
|
| Too many edges | Raise `similarity_threshold` to 0.70 |
|
|
| Slow performance | Use `--features parallel --release` |
|
|
| Memory issues | Reduce `batch_size` |
|
