Cognitive Search Template Improvements
...
As part of this release, the Squirro Cognitive Search Template received significant improvements. The screenshots and descriptions below showcase some of the new designs and functionalities. This includes the following improvements:
A new For You page layout that offers users quick-access to personalized content like Saved Documents, Last Read Documents, and Favorite Filters.
...
The Explore Dashboard now has a new filter panel for better categorization of filters and space utilization.
...
In the past, the The Explore and Global Search dashboards existed separately, which increased maintenance of the overall app. Now, the two have been merged into one Explore dashboard.
...
The Community 360 Dashboard provides a single destination for a community detail view regardless of path taken. You are now directed to the Community 360 page after clicking on any Community List or Community Items widget within the project.
...
You now have the option to search specific pages rather than perform a global search. This is enabled by default on the Communities and Community 360 dashboards.
Scroll navigation has been improved on three column layouts. Scrolling the content will not scroll the navigation tabs or the filter panel.
An illustration with helpful content is now shown whenever an empty screen is detected, rather than leaving the space empty
For a full list of improvements, including screenshots, see Squirro 3.6.8 LTS - Cognitive Search Improvements.
Spell Check Improvements
The Spell Check Widget suggestion application is now case insensitive and only applies to user input terms, not on other query syntax components such as filters or comparisons.
...
Update tensorflow to 2.8.2 and its related dependencies
spellcheck parameter in the /items/query endpoint accepts (whether to check the spelling of the provided query) boolean value instead of dictionary value. If a dictionary is passed in, spellchecking is turned on, but previously possible configuration values are ignored.
3.6.1
[Search] Introduce a new app step in the ML workflows and use it in the Query Processing workflow. It means that custom query processing workflows won't longer work. If you have a custom query processing workflow, please delete it and clone the default one. Aggregate into 3.6.0 and remove 3.6.1
3.6.0 - 3.6.1
[Search] Configuration: common.ini setting facet_boosting_values was replaced with project configuration-service setting topic.search.field-boosts
[Search] The steps for custom query-processing workflow changes and existing custom query workflows are no longer working. To resolve the issue, recreate the workflow by cloning the default workflow.
[libNLP] Removal of unused steps:
base: batch_randomizer
analyzer: classification_analyzer, topic_modeling_analyzer
classifiers: cnn_seq2one, rnn_seq2one, seq2one, seq2seq, sequence
clusterers: gmm, kmeans, lda
embedders: dictionary, doc2vec, glove
filters: clear, presence, window
recommenders: user_feature
tokenizers: word_ngram
[libNLP] removal of the aggregation normalizer step + util functionality for reservoir sampling
[libNLP] Marking of steps as deprecated (still working by rerouting to a maintained step):
base: log
embedders: tfidf
tokenizers: sentences
The cacheable option specifying whether to cache a document in the NLP step is no longer valid. Instead, use the new option called cache_document in the workflow configuration.
