  • [ML Workflow Studio Plugin] Added column for workflow type.

  • Many items widget and React improvements and fixes.

  • [ML Workflow Studio Plugin] Added sections in the studio plugin list for ML Workflows.

  • The standalone item detail view now has a close button to allow the user to navigate back to the dashboard space.

  • [ML Workflow Studio Plugin] Changed code editor styling when used with a studio plugin.

  • Query logging should use the original query if present.

  • Implemented decorator to cache selected steps.

  • Implemented cache in libNLP library.

  • Improve the optimization for the execution of multiple ML workflows by modifying the order of some libNLP steps.

  • Implemented caching mechanism for NLP ML workflows results.

  • Added field to the Document allowing to skip caching steps/workflows.

  • Added multi-lingual spaCyNormalizer: Perform language-specific text analysis that can then be used in subsequent steps.

Sales Insights

  • Added the ability to configure the facet containing the account name for the Insights Generator pipelet.

  • Added a signal-based generator class that generates insights cards per signal for different accounts.

Data Ingestion

  • The ingester service is now able to work with prioritized batches. This feature is controlled by the ingester.priorities.* options which are exposed in the Configuration panel available under the Server space.

  • The dataloader for parsing Squirro activity logs now works on multi-node Squirro deployments.

Search

  • Query Processing:

    • Please follow the user-guide for more information on the query-processing User Guide. You can also update the default workflow with the latest features directly from libNLP.

    • Newly created projects have now a default query-processing workflow enabled (can be disabled via Project-Configuration). The default Query Pipeline Workflow gets installed as a global asset.

    • Automatically set up the imported query-processing workflow in project’s configuration while importing a project template that comes with a configured query-processing ML workflow.

    • Query-Processing-Pipeline Example: Query-Disambiguation through 0-shot classification

    • Allow execution of QueryProcessor ML-Workflow in local (everytime /query endpoint is called) or global mode (only once triggered by the Global Searchbar via NLP /parse endpoint).

  • Initial implementation of question/answering custom widget (available on Cognitive Search template).

  • New Server Namespace Setting topic.monitoring.default-monitoring-project: setup default monitoring-project after first admin-user registration (per tenant).

Squirro Studio plugins

  • Upgrade instance:

    • Added the functionality to allow the selection of channel and Squirro version.

  • Query Understanding:

    • Reworked NLP-Parser plugin to run query-parsing with project's configured query-processing ML-workflow. Moved to section “AI-Studio > Query Understanding”.

    • Question-Answering endpoint: Search for a descriptive answer to a user's question within top rated paragraphs of the results.

Bug Fixes

Frontend

  • The fixed text highlights not working for not labeled items in AI Studio.

  • Fixed <squirro> tags are sometimes being shown in the widgets that support highlighting.

  • Cards widgets now resize if they are configured to not display the abstract.

  • Fixed Chips widget text/action misalignment.

  • The spellchecking is applied to the result query instead of the original one.

  • Fixed an issue when creating a new custom widget, then right after a new dashboard, caused the dashboard to be unusable.

  • Fixed entity scrolling for PDF items.

AI Studio

  • Made NLP Runner work outside the ML Service context.

  • Pass error messages generated in the endpoints during HTTP requests back to the UI.

  • Ensure that the global_id is 22 characters long.

libNLP

  • Fix BERT sentiment token max limitation bug.

  • spaCy-Normalizer's tokenizer is now able to consider phrases correctly (merges phrase tokens).

Search

  • query-processing: part-of-speech-booster step: never modify SPACE-like tokens.

Data Ingestion

  • Improve MLEnrichmentGroupStep with type error on JSON serialization fix and 'list' object is not a mapping error fix.

  • Batches created from the Change Pipeline step will be of lower priority, letting newer batches to get executed first.

  • Do not group consecutive ML model steps into one when the machinelearning.optimize-workflows option is set to false.

Data Sources

  • Fix issue where changing the configured workflow of a data source was failing if its plugin could not connect to the source.

  • Fix and improve the validation of the provided pipeline steps configuration when creating a new or modifying an existing pipeline workflow.

Platform

  • Fix issue where entities created for PDF documents could lead to a mapping explosion.

  • Fix NLP-Tagger failing arbitrarily and blocking plumber process.

  • Fix pdf_table_extraction Studio Plugin by updating the version of the shipped camelot-py package to be compatible with the shipped pdfminer package.

Security

Squirro Studio plugins

  • Code Editor: Allow dynamic resizing, window is too small.

Misc

  • Reduce log verbosity of PDF processing, making it more visible what is actually going on.

  • Migrate user preferences (user.user-store and user.json-preferences) from the old configuration service to the new one.

Breaking Changes

  • Rename "Natural-Language-Query-Parser" to "Query Understanding" and move it to the AI Studio section.
