 ## [Unreleased]

+## [0.2.3] - 2026-01-20
+
 ### Fixed
- Fixed model switching bug in `TextEmbedder` where internal state was not cleared, preventing dynamic updates between `fastembed` and `sentence_transformers` (#160).
- Implemented model-intrinsic embedding dimension detection in `TextEmbedder` to ensure consistency between models and vector databases.
- Updated `set_model` to properly refresh configuration and dimensions during model switches.
+- **LLM Relation Extraction Parsing**:
+    - Fixed relation extraction returning zero relations despite successful API calls to Groq and other providers
+    - Normalized typed responses from instructor/OpenAI/Groq to consistent dict format before parsing
+    - Added structured JSON fallback when typed generation yields zero relations to avoid silent empty outputs
+    - Removed acceptance of extra kwargs (`max_tokens`, `max_entities_prompt`) from relation extraction internals
+    - Filtered kwargs passed to provider LLM calls to only `temperature` and `verbose`
+- **API Parameter Handling**:
+    - Limited kwargs forwarded in chunked extraction helper to prevent parameter leakage
+    - Ensured minimal, safe parameters are passed to provider calls
+- **Pipeline Circular Import (Issues #192, #193)**:
+    - Fixed circular import between `pipeline_builder` and `pipeline_validator` triggered during `semantica.pipeline` import
+    - Lazy-loaded `PipelineValidator` inside `PipelineBuilder.__init__` and guarded type hints with `TYPE_CHECKING`
+    - Ensured `from semantica.deduplication import DuplicateDetector` no longer fails even when pipeline module is imported
+- **JupyterLab Progress Output (Issue #181)**:
+    - Added `SEMANTICA_DISABLE_JUPYTER_PROGRESS` environment variable to disable rich Jupyter/Colab progress tables
+    - When enabled, progress falls back to console-style output, preventing infinite scrolling and JupyterLab out-of-memory errors

 ### Added
- Added comprehensive unit test suite `tests/embeddings/test_model_switching.py` for verifying dynamic model transitions and dimension updates.
- Fixed `TypeError: unhashable type: 'Entity'` in `GraphAnalyzer` when processing graphs with raw `Entity` objects or dictionaries in relationships (#159).
- Robustified ID extraction across `CentralityCalculator`, `CommunityDetector`, and `ConnectivityAnalyzer` to handle various entity formats.
- Improved `Entity` class hashability and equality logic in `utils/types.py`.
- Added end-to-end integration test suite for Knowledge Graph pipeline validation (GraphBuilder -> EntityResolver -> GraphAnalyzer).
+- **Comprehensive Test Suite**:
+-    - Added unit tests (`tests/test_relations_llm.py`) with mocked LLM provider covering both typed and structured response paths
+-    - Added integration tests (`tests/integration/test_relations_groq.py`) for real Groq API calls with environment variable API key
+-    - Tests validate relation extraction completion and result parsing across different response formats
+- **Amazon Neptune Dev Environment**:
+-    - Added CloudFormation template (`cookbook/introduction/neptune-setup.yaml`) to provision a dev Neptune cluster with public endpoint and IAM auth enabled
+-    - Documented deployment, cost estimates, and IAM User vs IAM Role best practices in `cookbook/introduction/21_Amazon_Neptune_Store.ipynb`
+-    - Added `cfn-lint` to `.pre-commit-config.yaml` for validating CloudFormation templates while excluding `neptune-setup.yaml` from generic YAML linters
+- **Vector Store High-Performance Ingestion**:
+-    - Added `VectorStore.add_documents` for high-throughput ingestion with automatic embedding generation, batching, and parallel processing
+-    - Added `VectorStore.embed_batch` helper for generating embeddings for lists of texts without immediately storing them
+-    - Enabled default parallel ingestion in `VectorStore` with `max_workers=6` for common workloads
+-    - Added dedicated documentation page `docs/vector_store_usage.md` describing high-performance vector store usage and configuration
+-    - Added `tests/vector_store/test_vector_store_parallel.py` covering parallel vs sequential performance, error handling, and edge cases for `add_documents` and `embed_batch`
+
+### Changed
+- **Relation Extraction API**:
+-    - Simplified parameter interface by removing unused kwargs that were previously ignored
+-    - Improved error handling and verbose logging for debugging relation extraction issues
+-    - Enhanced robustness of post-response parsing across different LLM providers
+- **Vector Store Defaults and Examples**:
+-    - Standardized `VectorStore` default concurrency to `max_workers=6` for parallel ingestion
+-    - Updated vector store reference documentation and usage guides to rely on implicit defaults instead of requiring manual `max_workers` configuration in examples
+
+
+## [0.2.2] - 2026-01-15
+
+### Added
+- **Parallel Extraction Engine**:
+    - Implemented high-throughput parallel batch processing across all core extractors (`NERExtractor`, `RelationExtractor`, `TripletExtractor`, `EventDetector`, `SemanticNetworkExtractor`) using `concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor`.
+    - Added `max_workers` configuration parameter (default: 1) to all extractor `extract()` methods, allowing users to tune concurrency based on available CPU cores or API rate limits.
+    - **Parallel Chunking**: Implemented parallel processing for large document chunking in `_extract_entities_chunked` and `_extract_relations_chunked`, significantly reducing latency for long-form text analysis.
+    - **Thread-Safe Progress Tracking**: Enhanced `ProgressTracker` to handle concurrent updates from multiple threads without race conditions during batch processing.
+- **Semantic Extract Performance & Regression**:
+    - Added edge-case regression suite covering max worker defaults, LLM prompt entity filtering, and extractor reuse.
+    - Added a runnable real-use-case benchmark script for batch latency across `NERExtractor`, `RelationExtractor`, `TripletExtractor`, `EventDetector`, `SemanticAnalyzer`, and `SemanticNetworkExtractor`.
+    - Added Groq LLM smoke tests that exercise LLM-based entities/relations/triplets when `GROQ_API_KEY` is available via environment configuration.
+
+### Security
+- **Credential Sanitization**:
+    - Removed hardcoded API keys from 8 cookbook notebooks to prevent secret leakage.
+    - Enforced environment variable usage for `GROQ_API_KEY` across all examples.
+- **Secure Caching**:
+    - Updated `ExtractionCache` to exclude sensitive parameters (e.g., `api_key`, `token`, `password`) from cache key generation, preventing secret leakage and enabling safe cache sharing.
+    - Upgraded cache key hashing algorithm from MD5 to **SHA-256** for enhanced collision resistance and security.
+
+### Changed
+- **Gemini SDK Migration**:
+    - Migrated `GeminiProvider` to use the new `google-genai` SDK (v0.1.0+) to address deprecation warnings.
+    - Implemented graceful fallback to `google.generativeai` for backward compatibility.
+- **Dependency Resolution**:
+    - Pinned `opentelemetry-api` and `opentelemetry-sdk` to `1.37.0` to resolve pip conflicts.
+    - Updated `protobuf` and `grpcio` constraints for better stability.
+- **Entity Filtering Scope**:
+    - Removed entity filtering from non-LLM extraction flows to avoid accuracy regressions.
+    - Applied entity downselection only to LLM relation prompt construction, while matching returned entities against the full original entity list.
+- **Batch Concurrency Defaults**:
+    - Standardized `max_workers` defaulting across `semantic_extract` and tuned for low-latency: ML-backed methods default to single-worker, while pattern/regex/rules/LLM/huggingface methods use a higher parallelism default capped by CPU.
+    - Raised the global `optimization.max_workers` default to 8 for better throughput on batch workloads.
+
+### Performance
+- **Bottleneck Optimization (GitHub Issue #186)**:
+    - **Resolved Bottleneck #1 (Sequential Processing)**: Replaced sequential `for` loops with parallel execution for both document-level batches and intra-document chunks.
+    - **Performance Gains**: Achieved **~1.89x speedup** in real-world extraction scenarios (tested with Groq `llama-3.3-70b-versatile` on standard datasets).
+    - **Initialization Optimization**: Refactored test suite to use class-level `setUpClass` for LLM provider initialization, eliminating redundant API client creation overhead.
+- **Low-Latency Entity Matching**:
+    - Avoided heavyweight embedding stack imports on common matches by improving fast matching heuristics and short-circuiting before embedding similarity.
+    - Optimized entity matching to prioritize exact/substring/word-boundary matches and only fall back to embedding similarity when needed, reducing CPU overhead in LLM relation/triplet mapping.
+
+
+## [0.2.1] - 2026-01-12
+
+### Fixed
+- **LLM Output Stability (Bug #176)**:
+    - Fixed incomplete JSON output issues by correctly propagating `max_tokens` parameter in `extract_relations_llm`.
+    - Implemented automatic error handling that halves chunk sizes and retries when LLM context or output limits are exceeded.
+    - Fixed `AttributeError` in provider integration by ensuring consistent parameter passing via `**kwargs`.
+- **Constraint Relaxations**:
+    - Removed hardcoded `max_length` constraints from `Entity`, `Relation`, and `Triplet` classes to support long-form semantic extraction (e.g., long descriptions or names).
 - Fixed orchestrator lazy property initialization and configuration normalization logic in `Orchestrator`.
 - Resolved `AssertionError` in orchestrator tests by aligning test mocks with production component usage.
- Fixed dependency compatibility issues by pinning `protobuf==4.25.3` and `grpcio==1.67.1`.
+- Fixed dependency compatibility issues by pinning `protobuf>=5.29.1,<7.0` and `grpcio>=1.71.2`.
 - Added missing dependencies `GitPython` and `chardet` to `pyproject.toml`.
 - Verified and aligned `FileObject.text` property usage in GraphRAG notebooks for consistent content decoding.

+### Changed
+- **Chunking Defaults**:
+    - Increased default `max_text_length` for auto-chunking to **64,000 characters** (from 32k/16k) for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, and DeepSeek providers.
+    - Unified chunking logic across `extract_entities_llm`, `extract_relations_llm`, and `extract_triplets_llm`.
+- **Groq Support**:
+    - Standardized Groq provider defaults to use `llama-3.3-70b-versatile` with a 64k context window.
+    - Added native support for `max_tokens` and `max_completion_tokens` to prevent output truncation.
+
 ### Added
+- **Testing**:
+    - Added `tests/reproduce_issue_176.py` to validate `max_tokens` propagation and chunking behavior across all extractors.
+
+
+## [0.2.0] - 2026-01-10
+
+### Added
+- **Amazon Neptune Support**:
+    - Added `AmazonNeptuneStore` providing Amazon Neptune graph database integration via Bolt protocol and OpenCypher.
+    - Implemented `NeptuneAuthTokenManager` extending Neo4j AuthManager for AWS IAM SigV4 signing with automatic token refresh.
+    - Added robust connection handling: retry logic with backoff for transient errors (signature expired, connection closed) and driver recreation.
+    - Added `graph-amazon-neptune` optional dependency group (boto3, neo4j).
+    - Comprehensive test suite covering all GraphStore interface methods.
+- **Docling Integration**:
+    - Added `DoclingParser` in `semantica.parse` for high-fidelity document parsing using the Docling library.

+    - Implemented as a standalone parser supporting local execution, OCR, and multiple export formats (Markdown, HTML, JSON).
+- **Robust Extraction Fallbacks**:
+    - Implemented comprehensive fallback chains ("ML/LLM" -> "Pattern" -> "Last Resort") across `NERExtractor`, `RelationExtractor`, and `TripletExtractor` to prevent empty result lists.
+    - Added "Last Resort" pattern matching in `NERExtractor` to identify capitalized words as generic entities when all other methods fail.
+    - Added "Last Resort" adjacency-based relation extraction in `RelationExtractor` to create weak connections between adjacent entities if no relations are found.
+    - Added fallback logic in `TripletExtractor` to convert relations to triplets or use rule-based extraction if standard methods fail.
+- **Provenance & Tracking**:
+    - Added count tracking to batch processing logs in `NERExtractor`, `RelationExtractor`, and `TripletExtractor`.
+    - Added `batch_index` and `document_id` to the metadata of all extracted entities, relations, triplets, semantic roles, and clusters for better traceability.
 - **Semantic Extract Improvements**:
    - Introduced `auto-chunking` for long text processing in LLM extraction methods (`extract_entities_llm`, `extract_relations_llm`, `extract_triplets_llm`).
    - Added `silent_fail` parameter to LLM extraction methods for configurable error handling.
    - Implemented robust JSON parsing and automatic retry logic (3 attempts with exponential backoff) in `BaseProvider` for all LLM providers.
    - Enhanced `GroqProvider` with better diagnostics and connectivity testing.
    - Added comprehensive entity, relation, and triplet deduplication for chunked extraction.
+    - Added `semantica/semantic_extract/schemas.py` with canonical Pydantic models for consistent structured output.

+    - Added comprehensive unit test suite `tests/embeddings/test_model_switching.py` for verifying dynamic model transitions and dimension updates.
+    - Added end-to-end integration test suite for Knowledge Graph pipeline validation (GraphBuilder -> EntityResolver -> GraphAnalyzer).
+- **Other**:
+    - Added missing dependencies `GitPython` and `chardet` to `pyproject.toml`.
+    - Robustified ID extraction across `CentralityCalculator`, `CommunityDetector`, and `ConnectivityAnalyzer` to handle various entity formats.
+    - Improved `Entity` class hashability and equality logic in `utils/types.py`.
+
+### Changed
+- **Deduplication & Conflict Logic**:
+    - Removed internal deduplication logic from `NERExtractor`, `RelationExtractor`, and `TripletExtractor`.
+    - Removed consistency/conflict checking from `ExtractionValidator` to defer to dedicated `semantica/conflicts` module.
+    - Removed `_deduplicate_*` methods from `semantica/semantic_extract/methods.py`.
+- **Batch Processing & Consistency**:
+    - Standardized batch processing across all extractors (`NERExtractor`, `RelationExtractor`, `TripletExtractor`, `SemanticNetworkExtractor`, `EventDetector`, `SemanticAnalyzer`, `CoreferenceResolver`) using a unified `extract`/`analyze`/`resolve` method pattern with progress tracking.
+    - Added provenance metadata (`batch_index`, `document_id`) to `SemanticNetwork` nodes/edges, `Event` objects, `SemanticRole` results, `CoreferenceChain` mentions, and `SemanticCluster` (tracking source `document_ids`).
+    - Updated `SemanticClusterer.cluster` and `SemanticAnalyzer.cluster_semantically` to accept list of dictionaries (with `content` and `id` keys) for better document tracking during clustering.
+    - Removed legacy `check_triplet_consistency` from `TripletExtractor`.
+    - Removed `validate_consistency` and `_check_consistency` from `ExtractionValidator`.
+- **Weighted Scoring**:
+    - Clarified weighted confidence scoring (50% Method Confidence + 50% Type Similarity) in comments.
+    - Explicitly labeled "Type Similarity" as "user-provided" in code comments to remove ambiguity.
+- **Refactoring**:
+    - Fixed orchestrator lazy property initialization and configuration normalization logic in `Orchestrator`.
+    - Verified and aligned `FileObject.text` property usage in GraphRAG notebooks for consistent content decoding.

 ### Fixed
- Fixed a bug in `TripletExtractor` where the `validate_triplets` method was shadowed by an internal attribute.
- Fixed incorrect `TextSplitter` import path in the `semantic_extract.methods` module.
+- **Critical Fixes**:
+    - Resolved `NameError` in `extraction_validator.py` by adding missing `Union` import.
+    - Resolved issues where extractors would return empty lists for valid input text when primary extraction methods failed.
+    - Fixed metadata initialization issue in batch processing where `batch_index` and `document_id` were occasionally missing from extracted items.
+    - Ensured `LLMExtraction` methods (`enhance_entities`, `enhance_relations`) return original input instead of failing or returning empty results when LLM providers are unavailable.
+- **Component Fixes**:
+    - Fixed model switching bug in `TextEmbedder` where internal state was not cleared, preventing dynamic updates between `fastembed` and `sentence_transformers` (#160).
+    - Implemented model-intrinsic embedding dimension detection in `TextEmbedder` to ensure consistency between models and vector databases.
+    - Updated `set_model` to properly refresh configuration and dimensions during model switches.
+    - Fixed `TypeError: unhashable type: 'Entity'` in `GraphAnalyzer` when processing graphs with raw `Entity` objects or dictionaries in relationships (#159).

+All extractors support batch processing for high-throughput extraction. You can pass a list of strings or a list of dictionaries (with `content` and `id` keys).
+
+**Features:**
+- **Progress Tracking**: Automatically shows a progress bar for large batches.
+- **Provenance Metadata**: Each extracted item includes `batch_index` and `document_id` in its `metadata`.

+## Robust Extraction Fallbacks
+
+The framework implements robust fallback chains to prevent empty results when primary methods fail (e.g., due to model unavailability or obscure text).
+
+- **NER**: `ML/LLM` -> `Pattern` -> `Last Resort` (Capitalized Words)
+- **Relation**: `Primary` -> `Pattern` -> `Last Resort` (Adjacency)
+- **Triplet**: `Primary` -> `Relation-to-Triplet` -> `Pattern`
+
+This ensures that you almost always get *some* structured data, even if it requires falling back to simpler heuristics.

+# High-Performance Vector Store Usage
+
+This guide demonstrates how to leverage the new high-performance features of the Semantica Vector Store, specifically designed for efficient batch processing and parallel ingestion of large document sets.
+
+## 🚀 Key Features
+
+- **Parallel Ingestion**: Utilize multi-threading to embed and store documents concurrently.
+- **Batch Processing**: Automatically group documents into batches to minimize overhead.
+- **Unified API**: A single `add_documents` method handles embedding generation and storage.
+
+---
+
+## ⚡ Quick Start: Parallel Ingestion
+
+The fastest way to ingest documents is using the `add_documents` method. Parallelization is enabled by default with optimized settings (6 workers).
+
+```python
+from semantica.vector_store import VectorStore
+import time
+
+store = VectorStore(
+    backend="faiss",
+    dimension=768,
+)
+
+documents = [f"This is document number {i} with some content." for i in range(1000)]
+metadata = [{"source": "generated", "id": i} for i in range(1000)]
+
+start_time = time.time()
+ids = store.add_documents(
+    documents=documents,
+    metadata=metadata,
+    batch_size=64,
+    parallel=True,
+)
+print(f"Ingested {len(ids)} documents in {time.time() - start_time:.2f}s")
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Performance Comparison
+
+### Old Method (Sequential Loop)
+*Slower due to sequential processing and overhead per single item.*
+
+```python
+for doc in documents:
+    emb = embedder.generate(doc)
+    store.store_vectors([emb], [{"text": doc}])
+```
+
+### New Method (Parallel Batching)
+*Significantly faster (3x-10x) by utilizing thread pools and batch operations.*
+
+```python
+store.add_documents(documents, parallel=True)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🛠 Configuration & Tuning
+
+### `max_workers`
+Controls the number of concurrent threads used for embedding generation.
+- **Default**: 6 (Optimized for most systems)
+- **Recommendation**: You generally don't need to change this. If you have very high core counts or specific throughput needs, you can override it.
+
+```python
+store = VectorStore(max_workers=16)
+```
+
+### `batch_size`
+Controls how many documents are processed in a single chunk.
+- **Default**: 32
+- **Recommendation**: 
+    - **Local Models**: 32-64 usually works well.
+    - **API Models (OpenAI, etc.)**: Larger batches (e.g., 100-200) can reduce network latency overhead.
+
+```python
+store.add_documents(documents, batch_size=100)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🧩 Advanced: Manual Batch Embedding
+
+If you need the embeddings without storing them immediately, use `embed_batch`.
+
+```python
+vectors = store.embed_batch(
+    texts=documents[:100],
+)
+
+print(f"Generated {len(vectors)} vectors")
+```
+
+## ⚠️ Best Practices
+
+1.  **Metadata Consistency**: Ensure your `metadata` list has the same length as your `documents` list.
+2.  **Error Handling**: The `add_documents` method will propagate exceptions if embedding fails. Ensure your data is clean.
+3.  **Memory Usage**: Very large `batch_size` combined with high `max_workers` can increase memory usage. Monitor your system resources.

+Result Caching Module
+
+This module provides caching mechanisms for extraction results to avoid redundant

+
+Key Features:
+    - LRU Caching: Evicts least recently used items when cache is full
+    - TTL Support: Expires items after a configurable duration
+    - Namespaced Caching: Separate caches for entities, relations, and triplets
+    - Hash-based Keys: Uses stable hashing for text and parameters

+## Batch Processing & Provenance
+
+All extractors support batch processing for high-throughput extraction. You can pass a list of strings or a list of dictionaries (with `content` and `id` keys).
+
+**Features:**
+- **Parallel Processing**: Multi-threaded extraction for high throughput (control via `max_workers`).
+- **Progress Tracking**: Automatically shows a progress bar for large batches.
+- **Provenance Metadata**: Each extracted item includes `batch_index` and `document_id` in its `metadata`.
+
+```python
+from semantica.semantic_extract import NERExtractor
+
+documents = [
+    {"id": "doc_1", "content": "Apple Inc. was founded by Steve Jobs."},
+    {"id": "doc_2", "content": "Microsoft Corporation was founded by Bill Gates."}
+]
+
+# Initialize with parallel processing enabled
+extractor = NERExtractor(max_workers=4)
+batch_results = extractor.extract(documents)
+
+# OR override during extraction call
+# batch_results = extractor.extract(documents, max_workers=8)
+
+for i, doc_entities in enumerate(batch_results):
+    print(f"Document {i} entities:")
+    for entity in doc_entities:
+        print(f"  - {entity.text} ({entity.label})")
+        print(f"    Provenance: Batch Index {entity.metadata['batch_index']}, Doc ID {entity.metadata.get('document_id')}")
+```
+
+## Robust Extraction Fallbacks
+
+The framework implements robust fallback chains to prevent empty results when primary methods fail (e.g., due to model unavailability or obscure text).
+
+- **NER**: `ML/LLM` -> `Pattern` -> `Last Resort` (Capitalized Words)
+- **Relation**: `Primary` -> `Pattern` -> `Last Resort` (Adjacency)
+- **Triplet**: `Primary` -> `Relation-to-Triplet` -> `Pattern`
+
+This ensures that you almost always get *some* structured data, even if it requires falling back to simpler heuristics.

Don Simpson	65d99f7f8a	Added CloudFormation template that creates a dev cluster with a single [t3 instance](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/manage-console-instances-t3.html ) configured with a [public endpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/neptune-public-endpoints.html ) and IAM Auth enabled (required for public endpoint), and creates an IAM User using least-privilege principles. See Get started with Neptune Database for free on the [Amazon Neptune pricing page](https://aws.amazon.com/neptune/pricing/). Includes the CloudFormation template in the same directory as the [Amazon Neptune Cookbook](https://github.com/Hawksight-AI/semantica/blob/main/cookbook/introduction/21_Amazon_Neptune_Store.ipynb) and references it as a prerequisite in the cookbook.	2026-01-15 18:48:49 -05:00
